Five days later, Josh and Paige began a two year road to recovery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. They met at Gadsden State while he was playing baseball and she was playing volleyball. Paige went on to play at Jacksonville State. Josh eventually flunked out of school and enrolled in what he thought would be a 20 year career in the Army.   Kate Larkin, with the Auburn University Alumni Association, and her daughter, Anna, reached out to Josh and Paige at Walter Reed. Now the Wetzels live in Auburn and Josh works for Auburn Athletics, with a college degree in hand. Paige is a fulltime home school Mom to their two daughters.
