US Army Sgt Rob Brown was injured in Iraq 3 years ago. The avid athlete lost most of the function in his right leg, and was frustrated by the limitations of his leg, and his inability to participate in the athletic endeavors that had been such an important part of his life. While at Walter Reed, he was offered the chance to learn to kayak, and quickly regained his passion for sports. He eventually had his right leg amputated below the knee, and has worked hard to become a competitive runner once again. He was interviewed on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” by Bob Ley.

Having lived through a number of hurricanes, the reality is that not only are these folks suffering now, but they will be suffering for many years to come.It will take years and an enormous amount of funds to rebuild the infrastructure, not to mention building dwellings, schools, and stores. One can only hope that the internatinal community continues to supprt the people in Haiti. Then, one can only hope that they will have leadership that supports the people of Haiti.
