This is worth noting:
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Inspirational Iraqi War Veteran to Speak in Westminster, Maryland.
"Christian Bagge Day at North Carroll Community School"
I read a story about this young man, Christian Bagge, earlier this summer.
The summarized version is that Christian was a member of the Army, (Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry). He was seriously injured during a clearing mission near Kirkuk when an IED exploded under his HUMVEE.
Unfortunately, as a result of this tragedy, Christian lost parts of both of his legs. He was sent to Walter Reed Medical Center to recover and receive prosthetic legs, which he also had to be trained to use. While recovering Christian had an opportunity to meet and speak with President Bush and he requested an opportunity to run with the President when he was able.
He accomplished this on June 27th, 2006. He story is very inspirational!
Christian will be speaking at a school in Westminster Maryland this Friday, September 15th, 2006. While it has been difficult preparing for this event in such a short period of time, NCCS would like to welcome any members of the public and we are preparing for this event as though we will receive 200 to 300 visitors.
The nature of Christian's talk will be age appropriate for children 1st through 8th grade, and I expect that anyone who comes will have an opportunity to meet with him personally, as well.
