RIP Boatswains Mate Master Chief Carl Brashear. You literally changed my sister's life. After an accident that left her right leg, below the knee useless, she saw the movie "Men of Honor." It was after watching that movie that she had the courage to have a below the knee amputation and try to reachieve the quality of life she had before the accident. Since then, she has competed in triatlon, dressage, cycling, she golfs, plays tennis and swims. Thank you for your service and for giving me back my sister. May God bless you and your family, Cookie.
