J. P. and Paul Norden each lost a leg in the bombings and now utilize a prosthetic leg. As a result, their family started a foundation, A Leg Forever, which so far has helped sixty people who’ve lost limbs pay for prosthetics, wheelchairs, and bedside care. Speaking of the bombing, J. P. says, “In a lot of ways, it changed me for the better.” The Norden brothers typify this fact: most things, events, and experiences can be used for bad or for good. As New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman points out in his fascinating recent article, “America, China and a Crisis of Trust,” this is a principle of enormous geopolitical significance.
