Rick Turner is one of the 4 million American veterans who suffers from a service-related disability, per the U.S. Census Bureau, but this former serviceman stands out for the difference he’s making to his fellow wounded warriors.
A member of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, Turner was wounded in 1989 by a sniper from the army of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Turner, while holding one of his fellow soldiers who was shot and killed, had his own helmet pierced by a bullet, which fractured his skull.
