I was wounded in Iraq. But please talk to me like you would

any other person.

Wounded combat veterans appreciate compassion. We don’t need
pity.

I wear the scars of my service in Iraq on my face.

While on a routine combat patrol in 2006 as a civil affairs team leader with a
Marine infantry battalion, I was shot in the head by a sniper — the bullet tore
apart my jaw and the lower half of my face. Although I was initially thought to
have been killed instantly, I survived, thanks to the heroic actions of several
Marines and an incredible Navy corpsman, although I look a little different
now.
