Wounded warriors and disabled give back in many ways. Thanks!

When we think of technology it pushes ahead with an idea, competition, but often in advances because of the desire to overcome the bad things that happened life. I came across good story from the Washington Post, you might have read about it. Rob Jones, marine Corps veteran who lost both legs in Afghanistan, runs 31 marathons in 31 days in 31 cities to raise money for the wounded veteran charities.

War and prosthetics have come along way from the hook and peg leg. Rob has lost both legs fighting in Afghanistan. Raising money for the wounded warriors he ran 806 miles in a month. Like Forest Gump people run with him. Making it possible are the adapted prosthetics for running. War has brought many medical advancements that help us all. 

Another unwanted conflict that inters the human experience are all kinds of handicaps. Over the years technology gets

developed to help with these handicaps. It is often costly project but what we learn and experience often can benefit us all. The vets wanting to stay active in their lives use technology that in turn benefits ready handicapped people, who do now can act more independent an active. Their experience benefits the rest of us went through some unwanted injury or aging we can use what we learn from them to help us. 

So this Thanksgiving season, give thanks to the wounded Warriors and the people with handicaps with their own struggles to stay independent and active because what they we learn from their situations well come around help us when we most needed. Keep walking. Thank you Rob for using your struggle to help fellow vets. Hurrah! Keep walking
