In 2006, I met up with SPC Franco while in the Wounded Warrior Program at BAMC, this dude was F’d up pretty bad from a car wreck, he had a short lived career with the military. After some rehabilitation he had another wreck, from a seizure while driving and he blacked out, later it was determined he had TBI. I have kept in touch with him over the years and like to share one of his next chapters in life. He is a fitness trainer and can dead lift damn near 600lbs, it’s hard for me to think this is the same person because I remember him from back then and seeing his injuries and him sitting in that wheel chair.
