I am proud to read stories like this. For a soldier who was wounded in battle or otherwise wounded while in a war zone nothing sits more in their mind than to get better and rejoin their friends in the thick of things.

I applaud this soldier for overcoming such a injury and rejoining his friends.

IF one part is missing it just does not click as well. Like a engine with a spark plug missing. It still works but you can tell there is something missing.
