On Tuesday, Prince Harry announced that he will be bringing his second Invictus Games in Orlando, Florida in 2016.
The event will run from May 8 to May 12 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The inaugural event will be participated by the wounded and sick servicemen and women from all over the globe, competing in a variety of sports.
It was just last month when the Prince officially left the armed forces, but he took with him a lot of inspiring stories.
In a statement he released in US Weekly, he said, "As I've continued to work with wounded servicemen and women, I regularly see the power of the soldiers' stories to inspire others."
Prince Harry brought the first 'Invictus Games' in London. He saw it was a huge success, there were 400 competitors from 13 nations battled for nine different games.
"For every competitor last September, there are hundreds of others around the world who would benefit from having the same opportunity. I wanted other cities and countries to look at the competition - what it meant to those taking part and those who saw it - and take up the challenge for the next Invictus Games," he said.
Prince Harry also expressed how "delighted" he is, that USA accepted the invitation to host the second 'Invictus Games,' and he expects that it will be a more exciting show to watch.
He said, "I am absolutely delighted that the United States has taken up that challenge and will host the next Invictus Games in 2016. I have no doubt that the USA will set the bar even higher than London did and put on a great show."
After Prince Harry's exciting announcement, First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted her support for the second game, "We are thrilled to welcome #InvictusGames to Orlando next spring! #JoiningForces."
