severely in both legs and the abdomen. It was about a week before he awoke at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. to realize that his left leg had been amputated. Nathan approached his recovery and rehabilitation with the same energy and dedication he had his military service. He underwent 11 months of rehab at Walter Reed. When he went home in March 2011, with a medical retirement as a sergeant and a Purple Heart medal, Nathan began the task of building a new life. After contemplating his career options, he is attending college to earn a degree that will enable him to assist veterans in getting all of the benefits to which they are entitled – “veterans like me,” he says. Nathan and his wife bought a new home in
Herculaneum, MO and welcomed the arrival of their son in December 2012. Nathan still enjoys hunting and target-shooting, but
his restricted mobility impedes his enjoyment of outdoor activities. He wants to add bow-hunting and fishing to those activities, and he is eager to begin introducing his son to the joys of the outdoors. This year’s Honoring a Wounded Warrior project by Jet
Aviation was a huge step in restoring some of the mobility that Nathan lost in service to his country.
