US-SEVERELY-WOUN
VAIL, CO - JANUARY 28: Wounded veteran Jason Ehrhart, 24, listens to a ski instructor on January 28, 2010 in Vail, Colorado. Ehrhart suffered a traumatic brain injury, severe burns and the loss of a leg when his U.S. Army humvee struck a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2005. He was part of a group of a dozen war wounded and their families participating in the Vail Veterans Program winter ski retreat. The program is designed to help severely wounded U.S. military forces rehabilitate and rebuild confidence through learning to ski and snow board. Some of the wounded are flown in directly from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. 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 damage and other severe wounds, most of which sustained in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.
