Sgt. Matt Krumwiede watches his friend balance on his wheelchair at home in Pocatello, Idaho
Sgt. Matt Krumwiede (R) watches his friend Robert Wilcox balance on his wheelchair while relaxing with friends at home in Pocatello, Idaho, June 30, 2014. Krumwiede was on patrol in Afghanistan in 2012 when he stepped on an improvised explosive device which tore away both his legs, damaged his left arm, and ripped open his abdominal cavity. Since then he has undergone dozens of surgeries and spent time recovering at Brooke Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, learning to walk again with the use of prosthetic legs. In June 2014, he visited to his hometown of Pocatello, Idaho for the first time since he was injured. Picture taken June 30, 2014.
