Danielle Green is a true hero whose journey embodies resilience and courage. A former basketball player at the University of Notre Dame, Danielle’s life took a profound turn when she enlisted in the U.S. Army, answering a lifelong call to serve her country. 

While serving in Iraq in 2004, Danielle was severely injured by a rocket propelled grenade, an event that would alter her life, but not her spirit. After her injury, Danielle dedicated herself to helping fellow veterans navigate their physical and emotional traumas, working first as a counselor for the Department of Veteran Affairs and now with the Wounded Warrior Project. Danielle has also been honored with the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPY Awards.

Her remarkable story is not just about overcoming adversity, but finding purpose.
