Michelle Obama helps Prince Harry launch 'Invictus Games'
- 8 years ago
Prince Harry and First Lady Michelle Obama opened the second annual Invictus Games on Sunday night, saluting "the very best of the human spirit."
Speaking from his heart, Prince Harry, 31, said he learned the "true cost of war" when traveling back from his own deployment in Afghanistan, and, in that moment, was inspired to set up the Invictus Games.
The experience changed his life and the fifth in line to the British throne told the Invictus Games audience that war made him realize how privileged he was as a prince.
The first lady has also been a passionate advocate for veterans and recognizing the service of military families.
