Greg moves on to recall life-altering events, particularly a severe injury that resulted in the loss of his legs. He recounts the moment his life was saved by a fellow soldier and reflects on the physical and emotional challenges he faced during his recovery. He shares the importance of having a strong support system consisting of faith, family, friends, and healthcare professionals in overcoming the difficulties of adapting to a new body and learning to live day by day.
