ep. #303. Tommy Anderson, PPCLI Veteran, double amputee

Tommy Served with 3 PPCLI and 1 PPCLI. I served with him in both units. In April 1994, Tommy was driving an Iltis (Jeep) when he hit an anti-tank mine. The mine strike severed both of his legs below the knee, and blinded his left eye. For 29 years, Tommy has struggled with Veterans Affairs, and Blue cross to receive the services he needs to live his life. To this day, Tommy has to prove that his legs have not grown back, and his eye is still blind. We must do better. Here is his story, told in full for the first time.
