On October 23, 2005, Army Sergeant Bryan Anderson was nine months into his second deployment to Iraq when his vehicle went over an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The Purple Heart recipient and triple amputee has always been an athlete, but after his rehabilitation at Walter Reed he got away from sports a bit, doing stunt work, acting, writing a book, and other activities. But wheelchair rugby spoke to him, and now he is actively playing that game.
