LODI, Wis. (AP) - A Wisconsin soldier injured in the Fort Hood shootings spent Thanksgiving with his family, reminding all of everything they have to be thankful for.
Army Reserve Specialist Grant Moxon was shot in the leg when Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire Nov. 5, and three of Moxon's friends died. Moxon told WISC-TV in Madison the memories are still raw, and Thanksgiving at home means a time to recover emotionally as well as physically.
"(I'm) definitely coming to terms with it now, but with it's not easy," Moxon said.

It's hard for me to comprehend recovery..I know it's a different world for them. I realize they have specialized training, stamina and courage, the likes of which I will never have or be able to understand. And I pray for him, his brothers, and that this doesn't become forgotten.

Thank you for the ping, Kim! I think I can understand, from reading the article, why this soldier has/had the strength and stamina he does. He comes from a solid, traditional American family; it's that simple. He is who our country at its best breeds. Sounds corny, but home is where Mom is baking apple pie.
Happy Thanksgiving, SPC Grant Moxon

What a great face that young man has. What a jawline. :)
They did a nice piece on him on the local news this week. Very moving. He’s a trooper. :)

“Enjoy every day as it comes. I got a lot more to enjoy now,” Moxon said. “Everything doesn’t seem quite as bad.”
That’s one mentally healthy guy. Glad to hear it.
