Name: Noel Sepulveda Rank when retired/separated: senior master sergeant Age: 62 Hometown: Groveland, Fla. Current residence: Severn, Md.

Sport/sports: Archery, shooting and sitting volleyball What do the Warrior Games mean to you? This is my third Warrior Games. Before the first one, I was pretty bad off because my traumatic brain injury and PTSD was really bad. I was doing absolutely nothing at home. I spent three months in the basement of my house, 24/7, because I was so freaked out. The Warrior Games helped me get back into things. It got me back associating with people. What motivated you to try out for the Air Force Warrior Games team? Scott Hand with the Wounded Warrior Project at Randolph (Air Force Base, Texas) pushed me to apply for the first time. If not for them believing in me, I probably wouldn’t be here doing this. ( Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Bennie J. Davis III)
