The Wounded Warrior Amputee Football Team took on the “NFL Alumni” comprised of mostly Allentown police officers at PPL Arena following an Arena Football League game between the Philadelphia Soul and Cleveland Gladiators.
WWAFT was founded to raise awareness of Wounded Warriors and their families.
The team is also a testimony to the perseverance of this group of veterans to excel in spite of their physical challenges.
And, they have a 15-0 record on the field.
Joining the WWAFT for this game was Congressman Charlie Dent, R-15th.
As chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies, Dent has a direct interest in the welfare of both active military personnel as well as veterans.
He expressed his support to all veterans at the game.
