Sgt. Hammond was diagnosed with PTSD, TBI, and suffered from bullet and shrapnel wounds when serving in the military. He has said, “The Invictus Games mean that I have the honor and privilege of representing the United States Marine Corps by competing on the field against fellow warriors from all coalition forces. I get the chance to show that even though I have been wounded in combat, the enemy has not won. I am still alive and throughout the recovery process I can maximize my focus and be the best Marine and competitor I possibly can.” He will be competing in Road Cycling and Wheelchair Basketball.
