PVT Adrian Garcia
I was serving in Ramadi, Iraq during the month of March in 2007 when I lost my legs. I had arrived in country on the 1^st of March and arrived with the men of the 1^st Battalion 9^th Infantry Regiment, Baker Company, 3^rd Platoon. My main job was manning the 50 caliber machine gun on most Humvees. I was injured on the 21^st of March by a RPG attack. The Rocket was a dud, but still penetrated the vehicle and cut my legs off. I was flown to Germany for 3 days then to Washington, D.C. After three weeks of care in Walter Reed Medical Center, I was transferred to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas where I have been since. I am receiving Physical Therapy at the newly opened Center for the Intrepid, dedicated to helping wounded warriors as myself to getting back to where we were in lives. I am going to receive prosthetic legs and I will walk again.
