I have a very good friend who was a Medic in Nam. He was shot in the back in the line of duty saving the lives of others, and his legs were paralyzed. He was only 22.

He fought back physically, emotionally and spiritually, became a Junior High teacher, married, now owns a Bed and Breakfast, which he does the maintenance on from his wheelchair.

He is a model of strength and courage to everyone who knows him, a model of the love of Christ, his Lord, and he is the least handicapped man I have ever met.

What a great tribute to him, saying that, ohioWfan. What more complimentary words are there?
