Internally, everything within my torso was destroyed, except for my heart and left lung.
There were two other soldiers with me during the incident: My truck commander, Sergeant Keinow, and my gunner, Specialist Krieger. Thankfully, both of them survived.
Within the first two weeks at the hospital, I flatlined twice and technically died in Germany, but was thankfully revived. I remained in Germany for two weeks as the doctors performed surgeries on me. After that, I was transferred to Washington, D.C.I have distinct memories of my family members coming into the room to visit me. My siblings would enter, and I would be lying there, partially out of it.
In October 2012, I was in a mindset of seeking purpose and guidance from God. I felt prompted by God to pick up a guitar, which surprised me because although I was a drummer, I'd never played the guitar before.Immediately after, I had an emotional moment while listening to a song on the radio called"Only a Mountain" by Jason Castro. The song reminded me that everything I was going through was just a mountain, something I could overcome with determination.
There was a particular moment when I became frustrated with a group of people who were mowing my lawn because I couldn't do it myself. They were incredibly rude, to say the least.
