304. Army Sergeant Learns to Love Himself and The World Again - Rick Yarosh
Manage episode 364311331 series 3336280
How do you learn to love yourself when everything changes in an instant and the world you know is gone?
Rick Yarosh was deployed to Iraq in December 2005. On Sept. 1, 2006, he was severely injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Abu Ghraib. For half a year, Rick recovered at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX, fighting through 2nd and 3rd degree burns on more than 60% of
his body. His right leg was amputated below the knee. He also lost: both ears, his nose, multiple fingers, and most of the function in his hands. Rick says the only reason he would change that fateful moment is if he could bring back his brothers in arms that he lost in combat: Sgt. Luis Montes and SFC Anthony Venetz.
Rick is a husband, father of two and retired U.S. Army sergeant. He is also an expert in HOPE (Hold On, Possibilities Exist!). Rick has toured the country as a motivational speaker and inspired millions of people from all walks of life.
