Sgt. Lance Thorton, retired, is shown during archery practice with Team Army at the 10th Special Forces indoor range, Fort Carson, Colo. on May 9, where he and his teammates were preparing for the 2013 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo. Thorton lost his right arm when his mounted combat patrol hit an improvised explosive device (IED) in Baghdad six years ago. "When you're out, you kind of miss the camaraderie, and when you get a chance to come back and be with the guys, (it's awesome)," he said. "I stayed in touch with my Army Wounded Warrior counselor, who helped me through the (Veterans Affairs) process and showed me the door to the Warrior Games."
