A Leader's Challenge

Abstract

As the United States moves into another decade of fighting the war on terrorism, we must take into consideration the 44,000 injured Americans left in the wake of this war. With all of the physical and emotional issues that these Soldiers are experiencing many of them and their families are dealing with the difficulties of continuing their military service. I would like to use my experience as a severely wounded warrior to shed some insight on ways I have been resilient when in dealing with the physical and emotional roadblocks that successfully allowed me to return to active duty after being medically retired.
