US-SEVERELY-WOUN
VAIL, CO - AUGUST 1: U.S. Army Spc. Keith Maul, 21, cuts a steak with his prosthetic hand while dining with fellow war wounded and their families August 1, 2009 in Vail, Colorado. Maul, who lost an arm and a leg in a grenade attack February 6, 2009 while on patrol near Baghdad, was part of a group of a dozen war wounded and their families participating in the Vail Veterans Program summer retreat. The program was designed to help recently severely wounded U.S. military forces rehabilitate and rebuild confidence through outdoor activities, including rafting, fly fishing, skeet shooting and horseback riding. Most of the wounded are flown in from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Some 250 wounded troops have participated, both in the summer and winter programs since 2004. The visits to the Rocky Mountain retreat have been incorporated into Walter Reed's rehabilitation program for troops who have suffered from traumatic injuries, including amputations, brain injuries and other severe wounds, most of which sustained in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.
