Wounder Warrior/Racer

The guy below is Sgt. Liam Dwyer, a U.S.Marine of Litchfield, Connecticut. He was severely injured by an IED on May 22, 2011 in Afghanistan.
Dwyer, 30, a 1999 graduate of Litchfield High School, lost his left leg above the knee and suffered major damage to his right leg and right arm in the explosion.

He was out racing with us at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix at the PittRace Complex (formerly BeaveRun) and at Schenley Park in Pittsburgh last weekend too. He did a great job!

Kudos to Dave Thomas, David Morris, OG Racing and all the other folks who pitched in.

(I know my friend Bill Stoler will not mind if I hot-link his photo for this post)

That's wonderful. It reminds me of Evan Evans, the paraplegic offroad/hillclimb racer. He said:

Evan Evans said: "It doesn't matter if you're in a wheelchair or have healthy legs. If you have the will to do something, you can get it done. I race the same as anyone else does; I just don't use my feet. And, I never give up."
