It's a journey of accepting new realities while pushing past limitations to redefine what's possible. Each victory, no matter how small, is a testament to the human spirit's ability to adapt and thrive against the odds.

She faced the challenges of rehabilitation head-on, refusing to let the loss of her limb define her future. In this episode, James and Juanita discuss how she struggled during her recovery and return to active duty. Her story is not only one of personal triumph but also a testament to her resilience.
