Marine Veteran: "Do the one thing you think you can´t."

Sometimes, winter sports are as much a celebration as a competition. 
Just ask Marine Corps Veteran Ryan Garza.  

A fourth tour in Afghanistan in 2011 would change his life forever 
when an IED blast rocked the seven-ton truck the then-25-year-old 
Marine was riding in, badly injuring his leg. He spent more than a 
year at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia, receiving 
treatment for his shattered leg and traumatic brain injury.  

As the years went by, Garza´s medical team worked to save the limb. 
But by 2015, Garza and his doctors knew he would be better off 
without it. He made the agonizing decision to amputate and even  
selected the date of surgery... Friday the 13th.
