I joined the Army when I was 17 and was shipped to Iraq in 2003, entering battle as a Calvary Scout. Nine months after arriving in Iraq, my company was hit with an IED explosion. I had severe injuries, including a collapsed lung, a right wrist crush injury, and many torn ligaments and tendons. I spent almost 6 years in recovery and continue to have chronic pain.
