“Even in the darkest days of my recovery, I remained proud of my tour of duty and facing the reality of an overwhelming threat to international security not by drawing back, but by bearing witness of the fact that the good-will of service men and women cannot be defeated.” – Roberto Punzo, Lieutenant Colonel, Army
