He and his family will all be killed. It's a no-brainer. I expect Mr Lavery understands this. He's quite the inspiration.

Never got his name but looking at the picture of him in the hospital bed I am pretty sure that it was you but either way 19 months later I walked in the office of that OR doc and told him the that the probability of keeping me in a wheelchair for any length of time was not a good one. I snapped out a Salute and about faced the fuck out of his office.

Our country as a whole owes y'all more then y'all are receiving. My heart goes out to all the families who had a loved one that paid the ultimate price for our country and freedom. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Thank you for your service and I am so happy you are still with us today

This soldier is FOR SURE a testament of the courage our country was built on! This soldier is an absolute national hero. Thank you sir for your courage, your honor and MOST of all thank you for your service to our great country 🇺🇸

We need more men like you in leadership. Superman in the flesh. God bless you.

@@NickMACHINELavery can k say you alone are the inspiration to keep going no matter what

Thank you for your service and congrats on making a recovery such as the one you had. You’re lucky as many others aren’t able to achieve that much success. Always cherish the time that you now have after you pushed through that. God Bless

Real touching story. My uncle was in Vietnam and his bunker was it by a bomb and everyone died except him and he almost lost his right leg and most of his face was obliterated but he is still alive today and I thank God for that and for you.😊

I cannot imagine for the life of me fighting this behemoth head on, especially if he's down a whole leg and STILL willing to fight you head on. God bless this guy

This is a true definition of a man. There is a special place in Heaven for him. When he said "Wait a minute, why am I still here?" It's to help Veterans everywhere. Stories like this help. This channel is doing God's work.

And here I am pissed off about my 9 to 5 sucking the life out of me. I commend you Sir. Your tenacity and motivational way of looking at life is addicting. Definitely going to be picking up the book to read it.

Never been to battle but I am a stage 3 lymphoma cancer warrior. Different battles but still for our lives. God bless you sir!!!!!

Having worked as Trauma Nurse for 25 years and dealt with many cases like Nick's. The most important tool you have to beat death, as in Nick's case is the "WILL TO SURVIVE" no matter what it takes. Thank you Sir for your duty, your commitment, courage and strength.

Tears of inspiration

What an inspirational Soldier I serve as an infantry soldier for the Australian Defence Force and I must say that this video has changed me. God Bless you And God Bless the United States Of America Thank you for your service

I wouldn't care if you lost every limb.... If I was your wife or girlfriend I would never ever stop being so happy you came home.... Your strength and courage and thoughts of your brothers over yourself is the definition of HERO... Just a slight note after reading the comments on my post I wish people would not attack other people on their experience or feelings seriously why is there any argument at all.... I think they should be ashamed of themselves for going after each other when this was a beautiful video about somebody's personal experience and sacrifice for our country can we still be just Patriots?

@Eris🦇 Mana none of us really know how forgiving our creator is or isn't. I wouldn't bank too hard on asking for forgiveness to resolve you of your wrong doing. That's so you can sleep at night, not reserve a spot in the afterlife you don't deserve.

​@@rendezvoushere7843 Who are you or Reanu Keeves to say/judge who deserves a spot or doesn't? Isn't one of the primary rules as a Christian, "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged."?

On days I’m not feeling motivated I’m going to think of this video and the courage this man has

I'm humbled to have heard this. Thank you brother.
