Guest Speaker Charlie Linville
Charlie is the first combat wounded amputee to scale Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain. While on the summit, Charlie reflected: What a fantastic feel-ing to be at the top. I’m thankful I was able to push this war-torn body to it’s max. Only five years earlier, he lay in a hospital bed after suffering a severe injury while on duty with a bomb-disposal unit in Afghanistan. He suffered a traumatic brain injury, an injury to his hand, and a mangled right foot that eventually had to be amputated.
