A Navy SEAL(U.S)lieutenant is recovering from his wounds in the Bethesda Naval Hospital.This particular man has spoken, though, with such eloquence by posting a sign on the door to his hospital room.
".....The lieutenant,suffered a shot with a 7.62mm round in Afghanistan. The bullet went sideways through the front of his face across his eye sockets just behind the cheek bones. He will require about 12 facial repairoperations. My source reports that the lieutenant is doing well, his force of will, his inner strengths undiminished. The proof of that begins with the sign on his door......"
It says:
Attention to all who enter here. If you are coming into this room with sorrow or to feel sorry for my wounds, go elsewhere. The wounds I received I got doing a job I love, doing it for people I love, supporting the freedom of a country I deeply love. I am incredibly tough and will make a full recovery. What is full? That is the utmost physically my body has the ability to recover. Then I will push that about 20% further through sheer mental tenacity. This room you are about to enter is a room of fun, optimism, and intense rapid regrowth. If you are not prepared for that, go elsewhere.
