From their flyer:
 | April 24th an IED explosion in Afghanistan left SSG Christopher Walker critically injured and fighting for his life. Doctors had to amputate the 28 year olds arms and one of his legs above the knee.
Christopher is now at Walter Reed Medical Center where his Family reports he is making significant strides in his therapy. By staying strong, keeping a positive attitude and success in his therapy he is working toward his release - into a home of his own.
