Moses Debraska joined the Air Force in 2013 serving as a Security Forces Defender at Whiteman AFB, Missouri. During his brief career he served as an installation entry controller, responsible for safeguarding 14K personnel at Whiteman AFB. As he continues on his road to recovery he says, “Wellness, or the act of being well, is a ‘goal,’ a state of being and way of living.” He uses adaptive sports as part his recovery, seeing it as a way of staying connected with others. “The AFW2 event where I won the ‘Spirit Award’ has become a catalyst of changes for me,” he said. “You never know what you do not know. Allow yourself to be around and with others who care for you and about you. AFW2 has assisted and helped me in many ways to become a better version of myself.”
What does the Invictus Games mean to you?
Being selected as an athlete for the Invictus games to represent the U.S. military is extremely humbling and truly a honor. Getting to be part of team U.S. and compete against other countries is one I do not take lightly and I excited to embrace all that the Invictus Games has brought all of us together from across the world!
