Tough as They Come (Paperback)

Now in paperback, one of the only surviving quadruple amputees in the Iraq and Afghanistan War, SSG Travis Mills, tells the inspiring story of his remarkable recovery after losing all four limbs in a war zone. Thousands of soldiers die each year to defend their country. United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was sure that he would become another statistic when, during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, he was caught in an IED blast four days before his twenty-fifth birthday. Against the odds, he lived, but at a severe cost. Suddenly forced to reconcile with the fact that he no longer had arms or legs, Travis was faced with a future drastically different from the one he had imagined for himself. He would never again be able to lead his squad, stroke his fingers against his wife's cheek, or pick up his infant daughter. With enormous willpower, the unconditional love of his family, and a generous amount of faith, Travis shocked everyone with his remarkable recovery. He still swims, dances with his wife, rides mountain bikes, and drives his daughter to school. Travis inspires thousands every day with his remarkable journey. He doesn't want to be thought of as wounded. "I'm just a man with scars," he says, "living life to the fullest the best way I know how."
