A year after his injury, triple amputee Marine Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt) Brian Meyer is well known for his great attitude. “We have no delusions about what we do,” he says, “injuries are part of it. You make your peace with God and accept it. It’s part of the job. “ Brian believes that “hard work at physical therapy and a positive attitude will see you through.”

GySgt Meyer was injured March 14, 2011 while engaged in combat with enemy forces in Afghanistan. His injuries resulted in the amputation of his right leg, right hand, and the thumb and pointer finger of his left hand.
