First Lady Michelle Obama, among other world famous figures, helped Britain’s Prince Harry kick off the Invictus Games for the second year in a row.

The Games, offered for wounded servicemen and women, are being held in Orlando, Fla., at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex from May 8 to 12.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am to have the second Invictus Games open in America,” Prince Harry said, according to The Guardian. “I’m a long way from London tonight, but when I look out, I see so many familiar faces, servicemen and women, their friends and their families and all of the people who got them here. I feel like I’m at home.”
