The Invictus Games are underway in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia. Town & Country magazine has this quick rundown of the adaptive sports competition for wounded service members and veterans, Prince Harry's connection, and how some of the athletes feel about it. “Considering my injury, for a long time, I felt very powerless and invisible,” Major Joanna Labonté says. "I feel like they’re shining a light on us — the military members who have struggled, who have felt a lot of uncertainty in our future.
