With more than 20 ships named in their honor and over 2,000
decorations of valor awarded, Navy Corpsmen have a well-deserved
reputation for bravery and service to their troops. This dedication to
duty often comes at a high cost, and for Ken Swartz, the cost was his
legs.
"I got hit October 14, 2010," Swartz said. "We were in a firefight in
Iraq. I was trying to get to one of my Marines and I stepped in the wrong
spot."
The wrong spot was an IED, which Swartz said almost surgically
removed both his legs due to the blast.
The IED blast ended Swartz´s Navy career. He returned to the States,
where he re-entered civilian life and adapted to a new life without legs.
