Heroes having fun: Vail Veterans Program hosts injured vets, families
July 27, 2017
VAIL — Briana Irwin’s smile was as bright as the Colorado sky as she careened down a zipline.
The Irwin clan is in Vail as part of this week’s Vail Veterans Program group.
Twelve-year-old Briana flashed a smile as she admitted she was hesitant about ziplining. It’s OK to be apprehensive, even scared, said an amputee who encouraged her. The woman looked Briana straight in the eye, pointed to where her leg used to be, then at Briana’s two healthy legs and told Briana, “If I can do it on one leg, you can do it.”
And they did.
