Is this the same man that ran with GWB after he got his prosthetic leg?

Now this is a first class "Warrior" and quite an inspiration, not just as a soldier, but as a human being.

Anyone have an e-mail address to someone in a position of authority (commander, Congressman, Senator) who could get this honorable man's request to stay in the Army granted?

Metzdorf appealed twice and on Friday learned that he would be allowed to stay in the Army and with his unit.

The article isn't written very well, but this sentence, from early in the article sounds like he did get the okay to stay in.

And yet another POSITIVE story that the MSM is totally ignoring. This brave soldier came very close to loosing his life, actually paid with part of his body, and yet wants right back into active duty.

This is the kind of American that humbles me. Everytime I read about guys like this I feel like a selfish wimp thinking I deserve more of life than I have already been fortunate to receive.
God bless SSG Metzdorf.

This guy needs to be leading men. Wherever they put him, I hope he gets to do that.
