Marine Vet – Iraq Wounded Warrior Walking From CA to AL

This is a very interesting story, click here to read the entire thing: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2031700

Corporal Mike Cole, a former Marine and wounded warrior of the Iraq War is walking from Sacramento Ca to Huntsville Al...

Mike was riding in a Hummer when an IED took it out. A video of the IED was actually posted on Al Quida’s Al Jazier website as propaganda for their cause. He showed me the video and you can see him fly in the air along with the hood of the Hummer…it was hard for me to watch; I can’t imagine having a video of the moment your life changed forever. He survived the incident but has a steel rod in his leg from his knee to ankle...

He has been released from active duty and is now walking from Sacramento CA to Huntsville CA. Why…because he can walk I guess.

I would be exercising my legs too!! You don't appreciate life as it is until it's been turned upside down. Glad to see he's doing okay.

Sounds like Forrest Gump until he got tired and went home. We should count our blessings people, one never knows.
