I don't know why I survived Iraq and I don't know why I made it home, but I do know that this is my second chance at life and I can do whatever I want now.
— Tammy Duckworth
My arm bones looked like chicken bones.
My therapist would be so happy to know I'm doing all this walking. They've done a great job of putting me back together, haven't they?
I spent a lot of time between bars like this.
My experience in Iraq made me realize, and during the recovery, that I could have died. And I just had to do more with my life.
