Joe Lowrey was an ice hockey goalie who graduated from Long Beach Wilson High School in Southern California.  An extraordinarily fit and driven individual, Joe enlisted in the U.S. Army as an infantryman during his senior year in high school in response to the 9-11 attacks.

He attended basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia and spent 6 years serving in various locations until he became a Staff Sergeant and qualified for the Special Forces assessment and selection process.  He completed Basic Airborne Training at Fort Benning and Special Forces training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina where he earned his green beret and was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group.

He was deployed twice to Colombia and Afghanistan where he was wounded by a PKM machine gun round during an intense firefight against Taliban insurgents on July 7th 2014.  A bullet pierced his kevlar helmet, entered his skull and exited his brain on the other side.  His fellow Green Berets rescued him from the firefight and were told that Joe would not live long as part of his brain was removed.

Joe remained in a coma for a month and then began his recovery initially at Walter Reed Hospital, and then at the Palo Alto Poly Trauma Rehabilitation Unit, California Casa Colina and Centre For Neuro Skills in California.  Ultimately, he was medically retired from active duty, but his injuries left him without movement on the left side of his body and limited movement on his right side.

This Purple Heart recipient and retired U.S. Army Green Beret Sergeant 1st Class lives in Ontario, California.
