About ssgheathcalhoun's channel
I am retired Staff Sgt. Heath Calhoun. I was a squad leader with the 101st Airborne in Mosul Iraq. On November 7, 2003, my unit was attacked by RPG fire that killed one soldier, amputated the arm of another and I lost both of my legs above the knees.
I began a long struggle to regain my independence using high-tech prosthetics. I am proud to say I have not used a wheelchair since July 5, 2006.
I hope to share my story with others facing a similar situation as I have so hopefully they will see what is possible with the right prosthetic technology, determination and a positive attitude.
