Disabled Hero Makes RangerPretty
good story here.
MEN'S Health will feature a disabled man on its cover for the first time on its November issue — Cpl. Peter Sprenger, who lost an eye in Iraq when his motorcade was ambushed. Against all odds, Sprenger, who wears an eye patch, bullied his way into the elite Army Ranger school, graduated, and made military history as the first soldier with a disability to complete the training. The 23-year-old leaves for his second tour in Iraq later this month.Here's picture of Sprenger (Hat Tip:

"My right eye was just mutilated, and I had shrapnel wounds to my mouth, back, legs and shoulder," he said. "It kind of messed up my day."Hat Tip:
