Adaptive Fitness and Sports Camp puts wounded warriors ‘back in game of life’
January 25th, 2012
When Master Sgt. Christopher Aguilera arrived to breakfast the first day of the Air Force's Joint Adaptive Fitness and Sports Camp held here, his heart dropped.
In the same room were Capt. Tony Simone and his wife Andrea, two people he hadn't seen since last year's one-year anniversary ceremony of a HH-60 Pave Hawk crash in Afghanistan. Simone was the pilot and Aguilera was the gunner and they were attempting to rescue wounded NATO allies. Both were left with wounds and injuries from which they're still recovering today. Both were the only two survivors in the crash that killed five other Airmen.
