The Captain Sam Brown story:
When Capt. Sam Brown was injured in Afghanistan, he saw everything he had planned for his future disappear. Little did he know that what he went through, in fact, helped him discover one part of his life he thought he would never find.
"I had plans for my career and decided a few years after that I would find a beautiful woman and settle down and start a family," Brown said. "I thought that was all gone after I got injured."
In September 2008, Brown was conducting route security in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He and his Soldiers began receiving indirect fire, which quickly changed to direct fire, coming at them from different directions. As he went to help the men in the M1151 humvees in front of him, Brown entered an enemy engagement area. It was there that he was struck by an improvised explosive device.
"It was crazy for about the next 15 or 20 minutes. You know, the 1151 is on fire, I'm on fire," he said.
