Proud Warrior SRA Brian Kolfage:    
         

SRA Brian Kolfage came into our Proud Warrior Program as a result of a rocket attack on September 11, 2004.

SRA Kolfage is one of the most seriously wounded soldiers to survive the war in Iraq.

On September 11, 2004 a mortar attack nearly killed the 23-year-old senior airman.

He lost an arm and both legs in the attack but he has not allowed his devastating injuries to slow him down.
