Birthday 08/05/2010
 
Hey,

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I have to say it was a great birthday. Thank you to everyone that left me comments. I have had a lot of things going on here lately. I have really learned to walk. I can walk with one cane now. I am able to go up and down slopes and stairs. I am about to start my transition from full time therapy to some therapy and some work. I am really looking forward to doing some work.

We went to Washington D.C. a couple of weeks ago. It was really nice to see D.C. I went there to speak at a conference about my situation. I had never been there before. I was really excited because I have had a MIA/POW bracelet for about a year now. I found him on the Vietnam wall. I am going to Atlanta soon I am excited about that.

 

Thanks,

Colton

Colton that is awesome that you had a chance to speak. Take every opportunity you can to raise your issues. I know you speak for many many people.

Keep up the rehab buddy. Sounds like you are doing great.
