PGA To Feature Wounded Soldier

In this Nov. 8, 2007, AP file photo, Army. Sgt. Brandon Adam, then of Sandpoint, who lost both his legs while serving in Baghdad in May 2007, pauses from exercises while waiting for President Bush to visit at the rooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. Since his recuperation, Adam has lived life to the fullest -- and will be the feature of a PGA special on CBS Saturday.

In her Slight Detour column today, Marianne Love reports: "I'm honored to share yet another story of my former English student, Ret. Army Sgt. Brandon Adam who now lives in Colorado. Brandon and his family have participated in a segment of a PGA special, airing this Saturday at 11 a.m. PDT or 2 p.m Eastern on CBS. Since his injuries, incurred from an IED explosion in Iraq in 2007, Brandon has continued to amaze and inspire his family, friends and fellow warriors by taking on continued challenges, stemming from those injuries, and with his desire to live a full, satisfying life. This morning, I've included the press release explaining Saturday's CBS special." More here.
