The wounded warrior we chose is Master Sargent Ogea. He is 52 and was injured in Afganistan when he was jumping out of a helicopter under fire and his arm got caught in the ropes. I believe he may have even taken a bullet. He had to ride all the way back to the base dangling by his arm. When they got there his arm was barely still attached. He has been in rehab for 2 years. I believe he had 24 years of service.
To give you an idea if this guy's mentality, he actually said that he has not joined the system because he doesn't feel his injury is "as severe" as others and he doesn't want to bog the system. Yet he still donates what ever money he can to the wounded warriors foundation. Amazing! He is excited and we are honored to make this hunt or hunts in December.
