Indiana Disabled American Veteran Chris Bowser is on a mission. December 8, 2003, Chris was serving as gunner on a humvee that was escorting an infantry platoon on foot patrol when he the vehicle was attacked with a grenade. The blast broke both of Chris's legs and filled him with dozens of pieces of shrapnel. Miraculously, after surgery and physical therapy, Chris has made an amazing comeback.
Now, he'd like to give back. Chris has decided to help other veterans by starting a non-profit organization called Heroes Meeting Heroes. Similar to 'Make A Wish', Chris envisions Heroes Meeting Heroes giving wounded soldiers the opportunity to meet their personal hero. Chris plans to coordinate meet and greets for wounded soldiers with music superstars, sports figures, and entertainment celebrities.
