Very impressive and a great read about one of our unstoppable warriors. May God Bless them all and protect them while exposing the other side to their wrath.

Back in the 60's, my father took an AK round that collapsed a lung while he was with the 173rd Abn. Bde. (Sep). After the hospitalization, he was made a cadre member at Ft. Wolters, TX-- but not allowed back on jump status.

He then managed to get into Ranger School and finish it. He is still rated as 30% disabled.

He later commanded a LRRP detachment on his second tour.
