OCPA-LA hosts and moderates a one-hour virtual discussion and Q and A session with Sgt. 1st Class Michael Smith, Para-Triathlon athlete with the Army World Class Athlete Program (WCAP).
The Army is known for its capabilities as a fighting force and humanitarian aid on a world stage, but the individuals that fuel that force are remarkable in their own right. Smith's story of loss of limb to professional athlete shows the true nature of the men and women who join the military and the great strides the Army has made to ensure mental and physical resiliency.
