Physical Therapy supports the troops

There are many stories already. There are going to be many more to come. The Arizona Daily Sun gives us a look into one of them.
Whether you agree or not with the policies surrounding the Invasion of Iraq there can still be a certain level of appreciation guven to the voluteers of America's armed forces.

Sgt. Frank Sandoval is one of those injured while doing his duty in Iraq. He now undergoes physical rehabilitation for injuries sustained there.

There are times when Sgt. Frank Sandoval feels frustrated, such as when he is trying to get dressed, or stand up from a chair without any help, or even tie his shoes, but he knows it will get easier.

"I've seen a lot of progress," said Sandoval's wife, Michelle. "I used to help him with everything, now it's just on occasion."

Sandoval, who graduated from Kofa High School in Yuma in 1999, was wounded during his second tour of duty in Iraq last year while in the U.S. Army. He is now undergoing physical therapy at Yuma Rehabilitation Hospital.

Read a little about his story here and then give a quiet thanks to him.
