Boundless Courage
My name is Damien Comeau, and I am President of the Washington State Society, Children of the American Revolution (W.S.S.C.A.R.). It was my privilege to extend greetings to the W.S.S.D.A.R. 2026 State Conference and to announce the 2026-2027 W.S.S.C.A.R. state project.
Boundless Courage will raise $10,000 for Outdoors For All’s military programs, which use adaptive outdoor recreation to enrich the lives of veterans with disabilities and injured active service members. With specialized equipment and coaching, participants can cycle, mountain bike, hike, rock climb, kayak, ski, and snowboard. Last year, more than 330 veterans tapped their boundless courage -- rebuilding confidence, gaining independence, and transforming their lives.
Along the way, they formed tight, lasting bonds and built a strong sense of community that endures beyond the outdoor experience. These programs operate statewide, with locations in Bellevue, Lake Sammamish, Gig Harbor, Snoqualmie Summit, and Magnuson Park, as well as additional offerings in Spokane. They also run overnight trips around the state and run weekly ski sessions at Snoqualmie Summit in winter.
The project is especially meaningful to me because my lifelong passion for biking was nearly lost to injury – I know what it’s like to fear losing the activities you love. Boundless Courage honors veterans who, despite their disabilities, continue to draw on their courage to explore the outdoors and embrace life to its fullest. I would be happy to speak about Boundless Courage at your chapter meeting or attend an event.
