An Extraordinary Story of an Amazing Rebooter

Jason Poole is a Marine veteran who was severely injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2004. Near death when his fellow Marines pulled him to safety, he was unconscious for two months. When he woke up he was blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, couldn’t walk or talk, and because of brain damage, could no longer read and write. Now he is making a near-miraculous recovery. Read his remarkable Rebooter Story at this link.
