 Once I finished the walking test and the director of the amputee clinic said you are good to go and you can take your permanent leg home, that's when I knew everything was going to be okay. I'm Bobby Boddy. I'm a U.S. Army veteran. We got hit by a roadside bomb and that's when they opened the door to pull me out of the Humvee and from there is when I tried to stand up to walk and noticed that my leg had some injuries. I didn't think I'd be able to compete with anybody. I proved to the doctors it can be done. I actually won nationals for my very first competition. I didn't fail when I tried to walk again and I'm not going to fail at that. I ended up breaking three national records and became a world champion in the master's division. When I needed help with benefits, DAV got my army retirement on top of my VA disability. I knew that I could face any other challenge in the future. I am a veteran. My victory is finding the strength to be a champion.
