Some people let their wounds define them, and others don’t. Despite her extensive injuries, this wounded veteran didn’t pity herself for one second.
Kirstie Ennis served as a machine gunner on a helicopter while she was deployed in Afghanistan. On June 23, 2012, Ennis and her crew were on their way to perform a combat resupply and then an extraction of Marines outside of a forward operating base. Unfortunately, their helicopter never made it to their first stop. The helicopter rolled left, and went down. Ennis was on the left gun.
