Medical Services, Inc. (QTC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed
Martin (NYSE: LMT), is a proud sponsor of the 36th Annual National
Veterans Wheelchair Games (NVWG), the largest annual wheelchair
multi-sport and rehabilitation event in the world. The Wheelchair
Games, being held in Salt Lake City,
Utah on June 26-29, 2016, are
presented each year by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
and Paralyzed Veterans of America.
This is the 11th consecutive year that QTC will sponsor the
Games, which will feature 600 athletes from around the country
convening to compete in more than 19 sporting events, such as
basketball, quad rugby power soccer, softball, swimming,
weightlifting and this year's exhibition sport - bobsledding.
"We are dedicated to serving our nation's Veterans through the
work we do for the VA. Showing support for America's heroes and
NVWG is our way of letting our Veterans know how important they are
to us," states Grant Kim, CEO of
QTC. "It's absolutely inspiring to hear stories on how far these
athletes have come despite the challenges they faced along the
way."
The Games are open to all U.S. military service Veterans who use
wheelchairs due to spinal cord injuries, certain neurological
conditions, amputations or other mobility impairments. The Games
are committed to fostering better physical and mental health for
Veterans with disabilities through sports competition.

complement of disability-focused medical examination and diagnostic
testing services for a wide range of government customers. Since
