Sergeant Bryan Anderson is an Iraq War Veteran and Purple Heart receipiant.  In his second tour, he was wounded in an IED explosion while on patrol, losing both legs and his left arm.  Despite what many consider to be hardships for Anderson, he has managed to continue living his life to the fullest, doing everything he did before losing limbs.  Anderson's story is so inspiring that he now travels the country as a motivational speaker, hoping to help those with disabilities realize their potential.  "I want to be out there, I want to be known," says Sergeant Anderson.  "I want people to be able to see that just because something like this has happened to you doesn't mean you can't be whoever you want to be."  Sergeant Anderson has set up an amazing website with photos and information.  To see it, I have posted a link to it on my blog.
