A Navy SEAL lieutenant was shot through the face in Afghanistan. Recovering with surgeries in a hospital, he has hung a sign on his door so inspiring and so positive that we are compelled to find the man and meet his optimism. The sign on the wall reads:

Attention to all who enter here.  If you are coming into this room with sorrow or to feel sorry for my wounds, go elsewhere.  The wounds I received I got doing a job I love, doing it for people I love, supporting the freedom of a country I deeply love. I am incredibly tough and will make a full recovery.  What is full?  That is the utmost physically my body has the ability to recover.  Then I will push that about 20% further through sheer mental tenacity.  This room you are about to enter is a room of fun, optimism, and intense rapid regrowth.  If you are not prepared for that, go elsewhere. –  The Management
