An
inspiring story about Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers who've returned home as amputees and are now taking part in sports such as
whitewater kayaking thanks to the help of volunteers.
6% of U.S. soldiers are returning home as amputees, twice the rate of any previous war the U.S. has participated in. Programs such as the one mentioned in the article,
Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project, allow vets' to get back to the active lifestyles most of them led prior to being deployed and subsequently injured.
