You just might find something in your eye.
Those who donate to the cause, this is what your hard-earned money is going for.
Great job, MAJ Baldwin, keep up the hard work. I'll be cheering for you, hermano!

What an awesome example of a warrior and a great example for us to emulate. His attitude will carry him far and I am certainly going to believe with him that soon he will be doing the things he desires to do again. Thanks for posting this. It serves as a great testimony about one's determination to get through the valley to the next mountain top.

I had the honor of meeting MAJ Baldwin, his wife and his parents last night. They are an amazing family and an inspiration to us all.

Thank you, TR Sir, for posting this. Today I sent it out to my email list with a link to support the Wounded Warrior Project. I am doing the Tough Mudder later this month in an attempt to raise money for heroes such as Major Baldwin.
Major Baldwin, thank you for your service and sacrifice. I will be thinking about and praying for you today as I contemplate the freedom we cherish and what has been given on its behalf. God bless you Major, and all who have answered the call.
