So, next time you’re whining about your little problems, remember this – from Dallas News:
Marine Cpl. Zach Briseno jokes that he’s taller since returning from Iraq – although he’s most grateful that the prosthetic legs that add several inches to his height allow him to chase after his 5-year-old son.
Although he’d never complain, it has taken time for Briseno to get used to life after losing his legs in an explosion, and it’s not easy for him to move around his apartment in his wheelchair. That’s why a nonprofit organization is providing him with a home that will have wider doors, lower counters, a special shower and other safety features.
“It’s truly a blessing for me and my family,” Briseno said this week as relatives and friends surrounded him on the lot where the home is to be built by next spring…
You lose your legs in battle and still have a family to raise, you’ve got problems – and a right to complain. I doubt that Briseno complains much – just doesn’t seem in character for him. The rest of us who haven’t lost our legs – we got no problems, at all.
Helping a Hero is the organization assisting Cpl. Briseno – and my bet is that they can use whatever you can give.
