 I had just come home from serving over in Germany. Next thing I know, it was three weeks later and I was paralyzed. While parachuting with my platoon, my parachute didn't open and I broke my neck. It left me paralyzed for the rest of my life. I was on a routine patrol and we were in the desert of Kuwait and the vehicle flipped and landed on top of me, which left me paralyzed from the waist down.
