Respect is not demanded, it’s given. And the lives of the Invictus competitors definitely deserve respect. Soldiers from over 20 nations who have been sick, injured or wounded in their service for freedom and democracy can take part in the Invictus Games.

They have all come a long way. Their mental and physical wounds have thrown their lives off track. But they did not give up. Through sport and the help of their families and friends, they found their way to rehabilitation and are now ready to represent themselves and their fight back to life at the Invictus Games. An achievement that deserves respect.

With the 6th Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, it is our goal to give soldiers who are wounded, injured and ill in body and soul a greater awareness and recognition in society and to support their path to rehabilitation.

We want to make Düsseldorf a “Home for Respect”. We are not demanding it. But we are sure that Düsseldorf and Germany will pay tribute to it when they get to know our competitors, their path and their stories.

Since this week, we have been visible in the host city of our Games with the advertising campaign “A Home For Respect”.
