This morning at White Plains Beach, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02), a veteran and a surfer, volunteered with the Hawaiʻi non-profit organization AccesSurf and participated in their Wounded Warrior program. She assisted military personnel with disabilities to have a fun-filled day in the ocean, using specialized surfboards, longboards, and flotation devices.

"The servicemembers who came out today were incredible and inspiring. They have sacrificed so much in the service of our country, and came home with wounds seen and unseen. Their determination and perseverance was evident today as we spent time in the ocean, having fun and appreciating its peaceful, healing, and rejuvenating qualities," said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. "I'd like to thank the AccesSurf team for everything they do to serve our troops and people with disabilities."
