 On January 11th, 1969, I stepped on a landmine and it dramatically blew off both of my legs and my left arm. I had just turned 21 years old that December. I'm Jim Cersely, an Army veteran of Vietnam. Just the basic things in life, like eating with one hand, taking a shower, using a bathroom, getting dressed, you know, just like being born all over again. I think the moment when I truly knew I was going to be okay was when I found someone that I loved and fell in love with me and was willing to raise a family and spend the rest of her life with me. I've been tremendously blessed. I have four children and twelve grandchildren. There is a life after those injuries and I'm not going to allow this disability to keep me from enjoying things I want to do in life. I'm a veteran and my victory is proving that a disability is not a limitation.
