Hines , IL — Veterans of military conflicts ranging from World War II all the way through current Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom will be participating in the 32nd Annual Hines

ambulatory and wheelchair participants. The Games will kick off with a very special opening ceremony in front of Building 217 at 9:30 a.m. Approximately 85 veterans are expected to
participate in this year's activities, which will also include horseshoes, karate, basketball shoot, trivia rally, food and fun. All event participants will receive a medal in a
special luncheon medal ceremony which will be presented to the Veterans at approximately 12:30 p.m. in the Hospital Patriot Cafe. Many of the participants at the Hines Veterans Games plan to
