Veterans who have learned to cope without limbs are instilling confidence in young amputees by teaching them to play softball at a camp in Louisville, Kentucky.

After some time spent with the vets, one boy told his dad, "I don't have time to hurt, I only have time to be happy."

Another camper, a girl who lost part of her arm, said she learned how to tie her shoes, and to never give up.
