Our July Veteran Spotlight features Marie Giarniero. Marie served 4 years in the active duty Navy as a Surgical Tech and later, after college, joined the Army Reserves as a Perioperative Nurse. Throughout her 29-year military career, she was stationed at General Hospitals and Combat Support Hospitals, retiring as a Major.
Marie describes BlazeSports as “the family she didn’t know she needed until she was part of it.” Introduced through the Yoga program, BlazeSports helps her stay mobile despite her autoimmune disease. She has since joined our archery, cycling, and Veterans camp, acquiring new skills and challenges.
BlazeSports has provided Marie with a deep sense of purpose and belonging, allowing her to teach Aquafit classes to fellow veterans. She thanks BlazeSports for significantly enhancing her quality of life and introducing her to a circle of supportive friends, feeling blessed to be part of the BlazeSports community. Thank you, Marie, for your service! We look forward to seeing your continued success 🇺🇸🌟
