Martha is joined by retired Army Sergeant Dan Rose, as he discusses his upbringing in Wisconsin, what drew him to military service, and talks about his time in Afghanistan where he was paralyzed by a roadside improvised explosive device.

Dan explains the recovery process, how the injury impacted his life, and how the Soldier Strong organization helped him and other wounded veterans secure the technology to return to civilian life.
