It is people like this that make me proud to be an American. I wish I was a rich man so I could donate to this organization.

Well, I guess the fact that they got injured while killing innocent Iraqis and Afghans would give them priority over the rest of us who wouldn't kill any brown people. They should've carried a large sign that read "Dammit don't shoot back while we're killing you, we're shooting you for freedom."

@julian7650 as an amputee I sit in my wheel chair and feel disabled and look disabled and so I begin to become disabled. When I am on the segway I am not looking up at everyone but instead am looking down and don't look or feel as disabled as I do when I am in my wheel chair. Plus the scooter or W/C wont go on the beach and up in the mountains around the lakes and are not small enough to fit a regular door way in a house like a Segway. +, it is always better to be standing if possible

@daedalx It is not hard to ride a segway, all of our veterans take an extensive training course and are highly trained. The truth is is that I use a segway most of the time and I haven't been injured on one but I have been sent to the hospital when my wheel chair hit a little bump in the sidewalk and it stopped the chair and sent me flying in which I face planted and went in for some stiches. The segway is a much better tool and much more manuverable. As with anything, there is always some risk

Throw some dubs on that bitch and watch em spin like they're in a rap video.

J/K. I'm glad the vets get wheels for legs. Just like R2D2.
