While serving in Afghanistan, I was hit by sniper fire. The fighting was so intense the Medevac chopper was barely able to land. In the hospital, I was given a 5% chance to live. It's a good thing math wasn't my best subject. Today I visit classrooms and share my story. I talk to kids about dealing with life struggles. I tell them, with a little help and a lot of work that you can overcome in each challenge. DAV helps veterans like Adam get the benefits they've earned. They help more than a million veterans every year in life changing ways. I know that some struggles are big and some are small, but they're all struggles. And you have to learn to get through them.
