The Luckiest Man
summary
An Army veteran recounts surviving a 2005 IED ambush that sent a projectile through an up‑armored Humvee, costing most of the nose, lips, many teeth, the right arm and the majority of eyesight, waking after a monthlong coma with a tracheotomy and a teammate dead. Recovery leads to a shift from being the center of everything to serving others, now running nonprofit operations as COO of Bosma Enterprises and giving talks about that change.
