Leandra Moehring

SSG Leandra Moehring was assigned to the192nd Ordinance Battalion on Fort Liberty, a unit she describes as amazing. After injuring her knees, she completed two knee surgeries and received care for behavioral health at the Fort Liberty Soldier Recovery Unit (SRU), where she was introduced to adaptive sports. SSG Moehring can not say enough good things about the SRU. There are things that she did not even know were available until she got there like adaptive reconditioning and education programs. Moehring was selected to represent Team Army at the 2023 Department of Defense Warrior Games Challenge in San Diego. She said “I was at the to the Warrior Games Challenge and there was no competition like it. The program has been beneficial in helping in her struggle with social anxiety and boosted her confidence so now she is more comfortable interacting with others. SSG Moehring said her greatest support comes from her husband and their two sons.

What does the Invictus Games mean to you?

Competing for Team US at the Invictus Games truly means the world to me. I am most excited about motivating my 3 sons and showing them what true commitment and perseverance means. Being a part of Team US has given me a sense of purpose, inspiration, and camaraderie. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to compete against Invictus athletes from around the world in February!
