Meet SSG Shilo Harris - son of a Vietnam veteran and a hero who decided to serve his country after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In 2007, his vehicle was hit by an IED and he spent 48 days in a coma, had 75 surgeries, has burns all over his body, lost his nose, ears, and 3 of his fingers.  

It would be easy to feel sorry for yourself, but SSG Harris is an inspirational speaker who helps share a positive message about the military and also is heavily involved in serving his fellow veterans.
