VETERANS DAY!

Today I join all Americans in honoring those who have served our country. I've had the privilege to have known and worked with many veterans over the years. They have been my mentors, my friends and my brothers. Many of these were paralyzed veterans who continued to serve their fellow veterans and their communities many long years after becoming paraplegics and quadriplegics. Thanks to the sacrifices of so many unknown and almost forgotten others, being a paralyzed wheelchair user isn't a death sentence or the end of a productive life --- just the beginning of a new one filled with opportunity, hope and challenging adventures to explore!
