SAN ANTONIO, TX - AUGUST 07: Occupational therapist Lisa Smurr Walters and prosthetist Ryan Blanck help injured Marine Lance Cpl. Sebastian Gallegos, 22, practice hand movements at the Center for the Intrepid (CFI), at Brooke Army Medical Center, on August 7, 2012 in San Antonio, Texas. They were working to retrain Gallegos' nerves and muscles to control a new high-tech prosthesis for his amputated arm. He was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED), while on a foot patrol in Sangin, Afghanistan in 2010. The CFI is the largest rehabilitation center for wounded military servicemembers suffering from amputations, burns and functional limb loss in the United States. Thousands of war wounded, most injured in Afghanistan and previously in Iraq, spend months, if not years, in outpatient care at the CFI.
