Active Veteran Amputees
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-11-03/active-veteran-amputees
Compared with previous wars, soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan are receiving more effective battlefield medical care, and as a result, a large number of service members are now surviving war injuries and facing a future that includes missing limbs and/or use of prosthetic devices. Kojo meets three veterans to hear how physical activity and sport competitions can aid their physical and psychological recovery after the loss of a limb.

Only heard the first part of the show and was tremendously moved. Given how many have served in the most recent wars, I'm sure that every day of the year we should (1) celebrate Alive day, for all those who came home; (2) remember and mourn those who did not; and (3) honor all those who serve.
