More than 100 wounded, ill or injured service members are competing for a place on the 2015 Air Force Wounded Warrior Team, according to a news release from the base.
Those selected will represent the Air Force at the Warrior Games in Quantico, Virginia, in June.
This is the second year the Air Force has held trials, where airmen show what they've got in wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, sitting volleyball, swimming, track and field, air pistol and rifle shooting, archery and cycling, according to the news release.
"Hosting the Air Force Trials is a tremendous opportunity for us," Col. Richard Boutwell, the 99th Air Base Wing commander, said in the news release. "Here at Nellis and Creech [Air Force Base], and the Nevada Test and Training Range, one of our priorities is continuing to foster a climate of dignity and respect. Hosting these games gives us the opportunity to help these warriors maintain their dignity. If you've ever seen them compete, they certainly deserve our utmost respect."
