Shilo Harris: Triumph in tragedy - VAntage Point

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. His story is quite incredible, a true survivor. The fact that the doctors were able to grow new fingers is fascinating.

In 2010, Harris retired from the Army. Reflecting upon his service and his injuries, he said that, “Everything in life is a gift. Sometimes it may not be the gift you want, but you realize that your challenges are a new beginning.”
Today, Harris is a motivational speaker and a spokesperson for the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes, whose mission is to help severely wounded Veterans and families of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He travels the country sharing his story and raising awareness for PTSD. His message is one of hope and triumph over tragedy, and Harris shares it within his memoir, “Steel Will: My Journey through Hell to Become the Man I was Meant to Be.”

An impressive man!
