Marine Sergeant Zachary Stinson was on his first deployment when he lost both of his legs above the knee and suffered severe damage to his hands in an IED blast in Marjah, Afghanistan on November 9, 2010. While on a foot patrol with the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, Sgt Stinson stepped on an IED resulting in the traumatic amputations of his right leg below the knee and his left leg above the knee. Lifesaving measures by the corpsman readied him for MEDEVAC while shots were fired and a gun battle ensued. Sgt Stinson remembers asking the corpsman to tell his wife, Tesa, (pregnant with their first child) that he loved her. Medically evacuated by helicopter, Sgt Stinson was first treated at Camp Bastion and next, the Craig Joint Theater Hospital in Bagram while in Afghanistan before being transported to Landstuhl, Germany. Arriving at Bethesda Naval Medical Center six days after the blast, Zach remained there for three months. Transferred to Richmond VA for 30 days, Sgt Stinson was next sent to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC where he spent more than a year before finally transferring to the newly renamed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where he remains at this time. Zach has endured more than 25 surgeries, including the eventual amputation on his right leg above the knee and is presently undergoing therapies as an out-patient.

At 6'6" tall, I would feel honored, humbled, and small standing next to that man. |

That Marine is a real hero. I thank him from the depth of my heart for his service and sacrifice.
