 My name is Norberto Lara. I served for 11 years in the United States Army. While I was on a combat patrol in Baqab, Iraq, a rocket-propelled grenade took my arm off at the shoulder. When I came home, I felt alone. My family was around me, but I couldn't talk to them about what I'd seen and what I'd done. I remember just thinking, man, the way I am right now, I don't want to live.
