Wounded Soldier Returns Home - WGCL Atlanta

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- First Lt. Army Ranger Dan Berschinski was wounded in Afghanistan on Aug. 18, 2009.

While leading a stryker brigade, the 26-year -old was under heavy fire and stepped on an improvised explosive device.

“I lost both my legs and suffered damage to my left hand,” said Berschinski. “For the past couple of months I have been just hanging out at Walter Reed going through therapy. It has been difficult, I guess but really there is no other choice. I could sit in a hospital bed and cry and pop a lot of pills but I figured I’d drive on and do the best I could with it.”

On Saturday, hundreds of people waved American flags in honor of Berschinski and all of the men and women who serve in our armed forces.
