PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- About 20 volunteers from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center converged in the Santa Cruz area to join other community volunteers and a slew of professional surfers April 21-26 to help wounded service members and veterans overcome the perceived limitations of their physical and psychological disabilities through adaptive surfing during the 6th Annual Operation Surf Santa Cruz. Thirty-two wounded military members from across the United States and U.K. participated, most recovering from combat-related injuries suffered while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan that included amputees and those with traumatic brain injuries.
