Blind Marine re-enlists

After all he's been through, the only real regret Marine Cpl. Matthew Bradford says he has now is not being able to return to combat duty in Iraq. But Wednesday, Bradford, 23, made Marine Corps history, becoming the first blind double amputee to re-enlist. In keeping with service tradition, Bradford was honorably discharged and allowed to say a few words as a civilian before re-enlisting.

There may be hope for this world after all if it still produces men like this.

That's pretty cool

Wow.

I've given military service some thought in the past couple years, and I'm still undecided, but one day I would like to serve this country in some way... even if it's just half of how this man has served and is serving our great nation.

I'm moved beyond words, really, so I'll just stop typing.

This CPT taught at West Point while he was blind. Everyone I talked to said he was an amazing instructor. Just another amazing soldier.

Great post, thank you!

As a side note I've seen Scott Smiley around (I live at West Point) he's a great man and a great soldier. So is this marine.
