    In today’s episode, we spoke with two U.S. veterans and Para-sport gold medalists Jen Lee and Christy Gardner.

    Both Lee and Gardner suffered injuries that led to amputation, but they did not let that stop them from competing in sports at the highest level.

    Hear their inspiring stories of how they overcame their injuries, what led them to Para-sports, and how they continue to serve outside the uniform.
