An Excerpt from The Scars That Never Fade

"I remember the day I was wounded like it was yesterday. I was on patrol in Iraq, and we were ambushed by a group of insurgents. I was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, and I was blown off my feet. I thought I was going to die."

"I woke up in a hospital bed in Germany, and I was told that I had lost my leg. I was devastated. I had always been an active person, and I couldn't imagine my life without my leg."

"But I slowly started to heal, both physically and emotionally. I learned to walk with a prosthetic leg, and I started to find ways to cope with my PTSD."

"I'm not the same person I was before the war, but I'm grateful to be alive. I've learned to appreciate the little things in life, and I'm committed to helping other veterans who are struggling with the same issues."
