Tomas Vincent Young
Branch of service: United States Army (USA)
Home: Kansas City, Missouri
Served in: Ft. Hood Texas/Sadr City, Iraq
I called Uncle Sam on Sept. 13th when I saw the President standing on top of the rubble in New York saying that we were going to get those reponsible, which I wanted to do. After a short time at Ft. Hood, TX it became clear that we in fact were going instead to Iraq. This did not sit well with me but I only got five days to bring up the inane and trivial reasons we were sent there for to whoever would listen which certainly was'nt my leadership. On only my fifth day there, I went out a poorly planned mission in an uncovered unarmored 5 ton truck and was shot through my left collarbone and severed my spinal cord at about the nipple level which is where I am paralyzed from. |
