An Air Force veteran who lost three limbs in the Iraq war is concerned about his livelihood after Facebook shut down pages of his coffee business and a political commentary website.

Brian Kolfage was severely injured in combat on Sept. 11, 2004, losing both legs and his right arm when an enemy rocket hit the Balad Air Base north of Baghdad. “I’m the most severely wounded U.S. Airman to survive,” he said in an Oct. 11 article.
