Michael Smith
Michael was injured in a traumatic hit-and-run accident in Nashville, Tennessee, after returning from deployment while serving in the U.S. Army. The accident resulted in an above-elbow amputation and eventually led to kidney failure. Despite these life-altering challenges, he continued serving in the Army for another 14 years, completing a total of 24 years of military service.
