Soldier who lost 4 limbs opening retreat to help others
By: David Sharp, The Associated Press, June 22, 2017
ROME, Maine — Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills awoke in a hospital on his 25th birthday to learn that an explosion in Afghanistan had robbed him of all four limbs. He later told his wife to take their daughter and their belongings, and just go. He didn't want her saddled with his burden.
"She assured me that's not how this works," Mills said, "and she stayed by my side."
Family support aided his recovery, Mills said, and now a foundation he created is bringing others with war injuries and their families to Maine to continue their healing while surrounded by others who understand what they've gone through.
