A
Soldier Down…but Nowhere Near Out
Wounded
Soldier, Healing Warrior tells the life-changing,
true story
of a soldier who lost his legs but found his soul
It was early morning, June 17, 1967, and Dak To
Special Forces camp in Vietnam
was under attack. In the time it took for the bright flash of a mortar
explosion to fill the pre-dawn darkness, the life of West Point graduate Allen B. Clark Jr. would be
changed forever.
Wounded Soldier, Healing Warrior is the story of how one soldier, so
gravely injured
that both of his legs were amputated, turned his grievous loss into a
personal
triumph. With unflinching honesty, author Allen Clark describes his
life as a
soldier and provides personal insight into his struggle towards
recovery—from
the painful and unfamiliar physical hurdles placed before him to the
mental
anguish of severe post traumatic stress disorder, a condition widely
misunderstood at the time.
This poignant book is also
the story of a young man embracing his second chance at life.
Determined to
carve a new path for himself, Clark went on to earn his MBA from
Southern
Methodist University before finding employment as a personal financial
assistant to Ross Perot, moving on to public service, and eventually
founding
the Combat Faith Ministry, a lay ministry to veterans.
A gripping true account, Wounded
Soldier, Healing Warrior is a
testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and a source of
inspiration for
soldiers, past and present, wounded in body or spirit.
