Taking the Next Steps Into Life After Service: What Were Steps That You Had Trouble Taking? |...

On September 11, 2001, I was at Ground Zero in New York City. I was one of the fortunate ones able to step away from the carnage of that day. I walked out of the city with the mass of humanity that had survived, but had no way home except to help each other keep putting one foot in front of the other. That experience sparked a passion for helping those who serve our country take their own first steps forward and is the basis for SoldierStrong, a national nonprofit organization.

Today, in addition to providing revolutionary medical rehabilitation devices to help injured and paralyzed veterans walk again, SoldierStrong also provides virtual reality systems to treat post-traumatic stress and scholarships for veterans seeking to finish their education. Simply put, SoldierStrong's mission is to help veterans take their next steps into life after service - in some cases literally.
