TEAM NETHERLANDS
The soldiers of the Royal Netherlands armed forces have been deployed worldwide for peace and security since World War II. In the Veterans Act, our minister has the special duty to care for veterans who require care as a result of deployment. Taking care of our soldiers is what it is all about. This duty of care means that veterans and their relations are assisted in their rehabilitation and reintegration and in obtaining material care, social support, or mental health care. The Warrior Team The Netherlands 2019 is an initiative of two foundations. This Dutch team is sponsored by the foundation “Help for Heroes” and is supported by facilities of DOD and civil authorities. We are convinced Team NLD 2019 will inspire the nation’s wounded veterans during the Warrior Games. Our goal is to support their rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect of those who serve their country.
