This is an incredible look at the life of a young soldier. Take a few minutes and check this out. I’d bet this work gets some serious recognition. This is terrific…

Thanks for posting this, was worth the look.

I see a few differences from my experience so far, probably because of the different branch, but it brought back many memories.

Beautiful piece of work. I had the opportunity to visit Walter Reed Medical facility in Washington DC a few months back and in my 40 plus years on this planet it was one of the most humbling experiences I have ever encountered. I saw young men with no legs trying to run and I saw young men with no arms trying to climb walls. I had the privlidge of visiting with some of the bravest human beings that this country has produced, as they try to piece their lives together and acclimate to a new existance. Having seen real people with REAL problems puts our everyday issues that we think are problems into perspective.
May God Bless these Brave Americans!!!
