MISSION VIEJO – Their motto: "Life without limbs is limitless."

The words were on full display on Sunday as a team of wounded warriors took on police and firefighters in a softball game in Mission Viejo.

The Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team faced off at Alcia mark against the Orange County Veterans & First Responders, made up of players from the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the Garden Grove Fire Department.

The players on the Wounded Warriors are all veterans of the Army or Marine Corps and all have lost a limb in active duty. The game was a fundraiser for the team, which was formed last March.
