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.
