Wounded Warriors Head for the Top of North America
By Lt Col P
Great story out of Defenselink.mil, about a Marine captain:
“Following the loss of my right arm in Iraq on New Year’s Day 2005, the most basic of things became a challenge -- writing my name, putting on a pair of pants in the morning, tying my shoes, cutting a steak,” he said. “After putting up a ceiling fan that spring with my 5-year-old son, I realized that as long as I was patient enough, I could do whatever I wanted.”
He and six others-- three of them wounded vets-- are headed to the summit of Mt McKinley.
Good on you, skipper, and good luck! According to the article, their attempt is underway now.

I have to wonder if I would be able to cope as well after an injury like that.
I'm going to go with "No."
