When I got blown up and I was down and out I was wondering why did this happen I was embarrassed I was angry.

And the biggest question I honestly had ladies and gentlemen was why didn't I just die?

So as we're going over what we're gonna do We're strapping our gear on we go out with the minesweeper and we start sweeping the ground back and forth Back and forth nothing alarms us or anything there.

I took my backpack off and I set it on the ground We see my bag is 120 pounds 120 pounds hits the ground and underneath it is a bomb It takes my right arm right leg automatically They rushed me into surgery, right?

We're gonna fast-forward into the surgery here and they cut my left leg off because it's already gone and then two days later They have to cut my left arm off because the skin had necrotized.

So I'm a quadruple amputee three days later I arrived at Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland My wife came up to me right and I saw her and I finally got a chance to talk to her I said Kelsey, you don't have to do this Take the house take the cars take whatever money we have saved up and go this is not the life I would choose for you and she thought about it and she said, you know, I was thinking that And then she came around and she said, you know what handicap parking sounds enticing I'm I'm gonna stay But if you can imagine she actually at 23 and I'm 25 and our daughter's six months old said you know what I'm gonna be here We're gonna get through this together So I'm at Walter Reed and I'm trying to recover I had to find motivation, but I find motivation in my wife and my daughter and all of a sudden there's a brotherhood at Walter Reed a robot walked into my room and First thing out of this guy's mouth was hey, man.

Welcome to the club Said I want to be in your club He said kind of late now, don't you think?

He showed me that With hard work and determination I could walk again drive again.

He said I'm the second ever quadruple amputee.

You're the fourth and Two things went off number one this guy showed me the way that I can get better I can still be there for my family and number two He's a Marine and if a Marine can do it with how dumb they are You know, I Can easily cuz I'm I'm in the army.

I'm obviously brilliant So the things I wanted to accomplish I want to be able to feed myself again I want to be able to pick a fork up and put food in my mouth You see I couldn't do that for five weeks at five weeks I was out of my recovery stage enough where I was healed up and I could grab a fork I also was tired of sitting in a wheelchair.

I want to be able to walk again So seven weeks and four days into my recovery.

I took my very first steps at Walter Reed.

It was very painful It was not easy and as I was walking around the track They said you'll walk one lap today and I went ahead and walked three laps that day And when I got done I sat down took a breather and realized this could be something that I do When I got blown up and I was down and out I was wondering why did this happen I was embarrassed I was angry.

I was questioning my a bad person does God hate me and the biggest question I honestly had ladies and gentlemen was why didn't I just die?

And I found the answer in my family And I found the answer in Todd nicely that corporal that came to see me that was retired from the Marine Corps That told me I would be fine So I decided I was gonna talk to everybody I could that was at that hospital So I go and I would say hi and I'd say hey, I'm Travis you're gonna be fine same message Todd gave me from that experience.

I don't think my problems outweigh anybody else's I Am fortunate to live in a nation where I can wake up in the morning with no arms No legs strap my legs on right throw my arm on walk downstairs.

Well, it's not true I have an elevator but go in the elevator and go out And live life to the fullest take my wife and my daughter where we want to go The two life lessons that I have learned That I want you to go and pass along to everybody that you meet that you work with in the medical field is number one Don't dwell on the past.

I learned that because when I was sitting in my hospital bed close my eyes and wishing that this did not happen I realized you're not gonna change the past.

I can't change what happened yesterday And I can't change what happened six years ago in Afghanistan So I reminisce the 25 great years I had with legs and arms and I've had six pretty great years without And the next thing I will tell you I can't always control my situation, but I can always control my attitude You
