¡Que Marveloso!

It takes a special strength to come back from some of these injuries!!!

In 2003 a fellow friend of mine from 2/7th got one of his kidneys shot out of him. I was at Kandahar hospital when he came in. He almost died on the operating table and they gave him 12 units of blood. He was going to be medically retired while recovering in US hospitals.

However, that is not what he wanted and fought the med board. Within 6 months he was back working at 2/7 and worked in the S-3 for about 2 years before he was cleared for full duty. He was back to jumping from 12,999 and he went back to AFG on a team!!!

These are some of the true heroes in our military along with the others that paid the ultimate price.

Let us never forget them!
