Meet our veteran spotlight, Linda Richardson. Linda has been with BlazeSports for several years. She says the organization has been a great source of social integration. BlazeSports has given her a safe space where she feels truly seen, heard, and affirmed—especially as a Veteran navigating the unique challenges that come after service. Linda values being part of a community that not only understands her journey but supports it every step of the way. BlazeSports has given her that much-needed sense of belonging.
In addition to the social connections, Linda shares that the sports at BlazeSports have a profound impact on her mental well-being. Beyond the enjoyment of the games, she finds them to be therapeutic and uplifting. It’s a joy for her to meet up with fellow Veterans every week. Together, they sharpen their competitive edge through sports, building friendships while growing stronger both mentally and physically.
Linda served in the United States Army for 24 years. During her service, she completed a tour in Iraq as a combat Military Police Officer during OIF/OEF.
