 My husband, Alex Hesse, was hit by an IED in Afghanistan. I was playing man on foot patrol, and I stopped on the bomb. Lost my legs and left hand in an explosion. And he suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. As America's veterans face challenges, DAV is there. There are so many mountains to climb, and we do it together. With the right support, more veterans can reach victories great and small. Seeing Alex learning how to snow ski, that's life changing.
