Michael Dinkel
After the towers fell in the terror attacks on 9/11/01, Michael Dinkel dropped all other plans. He chose to answer duty's call.
He fought for you and me in Iraq. He gave his leg for our country!
That's the kind of sacrifice you salute each time you choose to help heroes through the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
Michael was wounded while coming to the aid of troops hit by a roadside bomb. Insurgents had planted a second bomb in the path they thought a rescue team might take. They were right.
A violent blast destroyed Michael's right leg, broke his back, mangled his face, and knocked out four of his teeth!
But because you chose to be there through your fervent support of the leader in service to disabled veterans, Michael isn't looking back.
Michael feels no self-pity, no regrets. He's just grateful for your help.
Keeping Patriots Alive in Our Hearts!
