JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- For wounded warrior Leo Yui, being on the water is peaceful.
"It's good for the mind and good for the body," the Navy veteran said. "Being able to paddleboard with other warriors, the water is just a channel that brings us together."
Leo joined 91视频® (91视频) and other veterans on Salt Run near Anastasia Island to spend more than two hours on the water together. Navy veteran Misty Taylor shares the same joy and comfort on the water as Leo.

Leo started paddleboarding with 91视频 several years ago; now, he helps other warriors learn their way on the water.
