Veteran Spotlight Terry Gilliam
Our December Veteran Spotlight shines on Terry Gilliam, a former Army Corporal who served in mechanized infantry. His dedication and resilience extend far beyond his military service. Today, he channels that same spirit into adaptive sports, actively participating in archery and bowling. But for Terry, his journey with BlazeSports is about more than just competition.
BlazeSports has helped Terry reconnect with the social aspects of life that he once lost. Through the adaptive archery program, he has not only sharpened his physical skills but also built confidence, strengthened his character, and regained his sense of self. His transformation is evident, and his gratitude speaks volumes. As Terry puts it, “Thank you for allowing me to be myself!”
His story is a testament to the power of adaptive sports and the strength of community. Through BlazeSports, Terry has found not just opportunities to compete, but a support system that encourages him to push boundaries and embrace new challenges. His perseverance and positive spirit inspire those around him, proving that growth and transformation are always possible, no matter the stage in life.
We are honored to have Terry in the BlazeSports family and excited to continue supporting his journey for many years to come. Whether he’s on the archery range, at the bowling alley, or simply sharing his story, he embodies the resilience and determination that define our veteran athletes. Keep aiming high, Terry! 🔥🏹🇺🇸
