Only one thing comforted Lieutenant Daniel Massey after he was injured while serving in Iraq. It was 2009, and he’d been left temporarily paralyzed from injuries sustained during a mortar blast in Basra. He wasn’t sure if he’d ever walk again.
“I came back from one of my procedures and on my bed was this blanket,” Lt. Massey said. “There was a note. ‘To Lieutenant Dan Massey, you’re our hero, thank you very much for your service to our country.’ and I just started bawling.”
