Missing Parts in Action


A couple of years ago I read a book by then-Captain David Rozzelle, an Army officer who left a foot in Hit (pronounced heat), Iraq; by the book's end, Rozzelle had returned to combat. 

Now-Major Rozzelle is working with his fellow amputees at Walter Reed and has a team of thirty fellow amputees ready to compete in the 23rd Army Ten-Miler today in Washington. 

The name of the team? "Missing Parts in Action." 

In a short blog item at the Weekly Standard, it's clear Rozzelle is very proud of "his" wounded warriors. But his greatest pride might be in the fact than none of the amputees from this war has committed suicide (a problem with previous wars). That's right, since 2001, none of them.
