I was just watching Charles Stanley's "In Touch" show, and a guy, SFC Cedric King, gave a long talk. I did a little looking, and am trying to determine his entire story. He didn't give much of his personal history on the show.
From what I can tell, this guy was in the 82nd, was a black hat, also taught at Pathfinder school. Also, he competed in Best Ranger at least once. Then he loses portions of both legs to an IED in Afghanistan.
The reason I'm curious is because the talk he gave was very inspiring. If anybody knows this guy, I would really love to hear more.
ETA: here is a link to the show. King is the 2d guy to talk, right after the Vietnam fighter pilot
