My buddies thought I was dead—I was quite literally in pieces. They risked their own lives to bring my body back to my family. From the moment I woke up in Walter Reed 11 days later, I vowed to find a way to repay them as well as all those who sacrifice so much for our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

When that RPG tore through the cockpit of the helicopter I was co-piloting, it took my legs, partial use of my right arm and nearly my life. I wouldn’t have lasted the hour if it weren’t for my buddies who refused to leave me behind. — PolitiTweet.org

So while I can’t fly combat missions anymore or help drag Soldiers from a burning Blackhawk if the worst should strike again, I can use my current role—serving no longer from the cockpit but the Senate—to ensure our Armed Forces are the strongest they can be. — PolitiTweet.org
