Human nature has many characteristics: ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.  All of these characteristics are said to happen naturally - innately - without mental effort.  In moments of crisis or extreme challenge it is amazing to see how training kicks in and humans perform great feats.  My friend Amaury Ponciano was a young Sailor that survived the bombing of the USS Cole (DDG-67) on October 12, 2000.  Not only will his story give you goosebumps; it will leave you with a new perspective on how you learn to move through traumatic experiences.  It is an absolute honor to bring you this story of resilience and overcoming adversity.  'Determined Warrior'
