Iraq
Injured Marine Gets the Ride(s) of his Dreams
2007-10-13
A marine, severely injured and blinded during his service in Iraq, had an awesome time riding in some of the fastest and most incredible cars on the road today. He personally details the events leading up to his day of adrenaline in NYTimes. Full story is worth the read, he also includes a link to videos of his driving experience.
I think this story is an awesome example of human spirit and kindness. I only wish there were more like it..... Back to the WoT.

#5  Whenever I see a soldier in uniform eating alone we either ask him to join us or buy him dinner.

Bravo, Ice. From now on I'm going to try and do the same. Outstanding idea!

#4  Whenever I see a solder in uniform eating alone we ether ask him to join us or buy him dinner.

Quiet praise goes a long way for our brave men and women and I encourage other Burgers to do the same.

#3  Thank you for fixing the link, Scooter. It got a bit hard to read with the print all blurred like that at the end but is a fantastic story nonetheless. We need to establish a similar "Make A Wish" foundation for all of our injured combat veterans.
