U.S. Army Sgt. Jacque Keeslar lost both legs in Iraq nearly two years ago. To get around, he relies on a wheelchair and a pair of artificial legs, which help him walk in short bursts.
“If I have to do a half mile or mile of walking, it just exhausts me,” Keeslar said.
Now, thanks to a specially designed Segway, the battery-powered transporter, Keeslar says he can ditch his wheelchair and get around without people looking down on him.
And to help others he has started a program called Segs4Vets…
I love this idea! God Bless Our Troops!
The Man on the right hand side is Chris Bordoni, he is a United States Marine who served with my husband both tours in Afghanistan, in January a suicide bomber On a motorcycle pulled up beside his truck and blew both himself and Bordoni up, he was on fire for 9 minutes before it was contained, my husband along with several other men in there unit kept him alive until he was on the bird headed out, they were later told that they must have done everything in the book by the book because there was no way he should have survived, he suffered 3rd degree burns over 90% of his body, but he was strong and refused to give up, he made it to a hospital in Texas were he was reunited with his family, his wife and parents, and was on the road to recovery they told him that for the next 6 years he’d be in the hospital undergoing numerous skin graphs but it gave his family hope, he got well enough to start communicating with his wife and family by winking and using his tongue, April 3rd 2012 they awarded him with his purple heart, and 25 minutes after receiving it, he lost his battle and passed away, he was an amazing man, and although this is a terrible tragedy I’m thankful for that fact that god kept him here long enough to spend theses last few months with his family and was able to say goodbye, not many men and woman fighting for our country get that chance, now tomorrow(today) you will all be celebrating Easter with your beautiful families, while his is laying him to rest so I ask everyone, to take a moment tomorrow or any day of that matter and say a prayer for his family, his wife and all his brothers in arms, Never take life for granted people, never waste a moment, love the people who love you, and always, always tell the people you love, just how much you do, because they could be here today and gone tomorrow.
R.I.P Chris Bordoni, gone to soon.
Okay, I’m crying.. RIP Chris. My prayers are with your family and friends.
Praying for his family, knowing he’s with Jesus in Heaven looking at them. Chris is home now. God Bless Our Troops.
