Carl, who served in the Army, was in an RTA in Iraq in April 2004 where he fractured his right femur in seven places. Participating in the Invictus Games will help Carl with his self-esteem and confidence. Since being medically discharged from the Army, Carl has found it difficult to feel like he has a purpose. Since joining the Help for Heroes Archery Club, Carl is more confident and feels being part of the Invictus Games will give him the feeling of being part of a team again.
