To every veteran who thinks their life is over because of limb loss: I lost my leg about a week after my 3rd birthday. I have no memory of the emotional trauma of losing a leg and wondering what my life would be like after my leg was gone so I can't say I know what you are going through. I can at least tell you what you face. Growing up I played with friends and ran around as much as any other kid. I couldn't run as fast as any of my friends but other than that I have never found myself unable to do what the others could do. I climbed trees, played baseball, rode bikes and got into plenty of trouble. I was the slowest runner, but SOMEBODY is always slowest. As I grew into an adult I started hiking. Not once have I have had a hike I couldn't do. In the mid 1990's (I was in my mid 20's) I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back in one day. This hike is so brutal, so many people have tried and failed sparking an expensive rescue, that the National Park Service outlawed the hike. Many of those rescued were experienced hikers in good physical condition and two health legs. I didn't fail. It hurt, sure, but I completed a hike many people with two legs failed to complete. Frankly you are only as disabled as you think you are. This isn't some hippy-dippy new age bullshit designed to make you feel better. It is literally true. When I started taking classes at the local community collage I had to buy a rather expensive parking permit. The person who was working the counter where the permits were sold told me I didn't need one because I was disabled. My handicap parking pass would let me park there for free. My first reaction was to say I wasn't disabled. I didn't even have a handicap parking pass! I never even thought to apply for one. As I had never encountered anything that was impossible due to my missing leg I never felt disabled at all. Now I consider myself "disabled" only in the legal sense. I am not PHYSICALLY disabled. The only thing I have ever found to be impossible because of my missing leg was enlisting in the military. What you are facing is life changing, but it isn't life ending. You will need to learn new ways of getting shit done, but you WILL get it done. It will be a tough road, but only for a little while. You will soon find out being an amputee is not nearly as bad as you imagine. Don't give up. Fight to learn what you need to learn. It's worth it.
***** I just hope it can give hope to some solder wonder how they ended up short on limbs. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of hope. I hope I have provided it.
I lost my right leg above the knee at 18 years old in 1977. At the time I felt I needed to be so strong to deal with it. However, I have learned since that true strength is not at all what I had thought. Kirstie, I want to thank you. For your service and for you sharing this. When you were first fitted and walking in the parallel bars you stood there and cried. I remember when I was there and I wanted to cry but thought I couldn't or I would not be strong enough to make it. I wish I had been strong enough at that time to cry but it came later. You show true strength and yes, you are very beautiful!
Just watched your speech as you got the award and was blown away by you. When you speak there is only light... and we see nothing but perfection! Thank you for your sacrifice! You are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know how I stumbled on this video but I can not thank her enough! For your service but above all for your being so brave! I am not a service member but I'm in grave danger of loosing a leg myself due to numerous infections. This video made me cry from the title alone bc I knew it had to be about amputation. Please keep your head up! You are a great role model! I could go on, but what I really wanna say is thank you!
James Scott salute to the Afghanistan people too you are a Gentleman soilder the afghans with basic out dated guns and bullets nothing else no planes no tanks pushed away the Soviet and now the United States I am a American but I think invading iraq & Afghanistan was the wars of and for the elites to get richer.
this video makes me realize that we are so much more than the extend of capabilities of our bodies, this touched me on a spiritual level, thank you Kirstie for sharing this story with us my hero, much love from Holland
Shadow Back Yes I totaly agree with you. I ran a lot before my injury. 4 months ago I break my tibia plateau, its like breaking your knee. So I had to relearn everything again, how to walk and how to climb stairs etc. I am still in the process and my doctors told me there is a high chance I get post traumatic athrosis. There is also a big chance I will never run again. But in my neigbourhood is a man and he is an amputee and he runs. Thats why I know I will be able to run also. If he could make it, so can I. I am very, very glad I have still two feets, even I can't feel the right one so good after surgery and maybe don't feel it at all after the second one. But I still have it and it works great. So I am very, very thankfull for that.
This is the most beautiful video ever. Thank you Kirstie for sharing your story and inspiring so many others. Thank you cosmo for sharing this documentary; we need more stories like this to remind everyone how precious life is and to enjoy it.
Kirstie Ennis, respect to you. I live with chronic pain that greatly impacts my walking (and thus life), however, humans have this wonderful capacity for changing and coping. It's not easy, but it's achievable.
I saw this many months ago, and was very moved by the stories of other Marines. 2 weeks ago, my brother-in-law lost his right leg below the knee in a motorcycle crash. He is still in danger of infection as he heals, and his knee is very susceptible. I don't even know if I could share your story with him right now. His son, my nephew, is also an Afghanistan combat Marine veteran. Thanks for sharing your story with us, Always Faithful.
Ashley Taylor service to who? The country? The democracy? All she served is accomplish the agenda of the elite. Americans people are expandable for zionism objectives. Wake up.
Thank you so much for your service!!! You are a fighter!!!! You make it all look so easy and trust me , I know first hand how hard it is !! The same year , 2012, January, I woke up from a 6 week coma with my right leg amputated above the knee!! Life as I knew it would never be the same!!! I also have severe neuropathy in my remaining leg so walking is a challenge!!! I’m so proud of you , and you are an inspiration to millions!! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you...I can't express enough gratitude for what you and many other veterans and current service members sacrifice for all of us thank you and your family..God bless you all God bless America!!
Kirstie. I´m Colombia Marine officer and after 31 years on duty I share your emotions. Thanks for your service, very few people understand our motivation when we go on the battle field, but when we return, everyone understands that we were defending the freedom of a Nation. for that reason the feeling of a warrior does not understand it but a warrior. "Marine for a day is a marine for life" Luis M.
I LOVE HER AND WISH HER A LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS THANK YOU KIRSTIE FOR TELLING THE WORLD YOUR STORY AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY!
Thank you for your service. You are a very beautiful young woman both inside and out. Legs don't make the lady...although our society acts as if outward looks are everything. Despite your loss of a leg, you have a beautiful face, a beautiful voice, a beautiful mind and a beautiful spirit. No one can take away the beautiful attitude that you have above all my friend. I am honored to have watched your story and may God bless you and your family!!!
First of all...,.. thank you soooooooo much for serving for our country/my family!!!! I will always be grateful for your sacrifice! Much love and Aloha always!!! I have family and friends that are serving in all branch. You will always be in mine and my families hearts!
what a shame...they couldn't amputate her right the first time and made her go through the whole process again; the grief, the pain, the agony. She's a tough woman
I've had the same thing happen to me...btk first then infection and I had to have a atk except you lost yours quite differently than me at a much younger age as I was 52 when I lost mine 2 years ago....I thank you for your service and sacrifice and I have a million things I want to talk to you about but not enough space here to do it...all I can say is keep positive and keep going...I struggle everyday but im here and so are you and be thankful for that. If you ever want a friend that has the same issues to talk to I'll be glad to.
God Bless YOU girl! You're doing well on your leg. I'm an above the knee amputee and if I can offer some advice wrt: stairs. They saying is "Up with the good, down with the bad". When going up a flight of stairs, step up with your good leg first and then bring your C leg. When going down, step down with the C leg and then your good leg to follow. Keep going Marine!
I also want to say to your mom and your family.....You did a good job mom. support is so important when your family has to coop with such a tragedy . Respect for all of you. regards. Bert de Vries, Hillegom Netherlands
My situation is a little different. I was born with a genetic disorder called neurofibramatosis. Thousands of fibromas have grown in my left calf and there's no telling if they'll grow again one day and one of the options presented by doctors is amputation. If Kirstie can be strong enough to pull through, then so can I.
You’re a beautiful person and I wish I knew you in person. I went through the same thing. 2 amputations. Septic. 23 surgeries. Coma. Keep up the fight! Always move forward! Get some!
Hi, my name's Julio Martinez, and I'm from Corpus Christi, TX., and I just want to say that, even though I don't know you, I just want to say, thank you for your service. Once a Marine in the United States Armed Forces, always a Marine. Losing a entire leg doe NOT determine of who and what you are. Character does. Having a good attitude certainly does. (imagine if Kristie didn't have.a positive attitude?). And more importantly, having the will to live. Live and let live, by any means necessary. Or by what you can do. And be comfortable of who you are,before and after the amputation. If that were me, and I didn't have a strong will to live, I wouldn't be as strong as she had been. It's never easy, but if you believe and love yourself first, you'd make it through life, no matter what. Not being strong enough to have the will to live,after a major amputation, weeks and months in the hospital, having to endure many obstacles, and not having people care about you, is worse. Loneliness is much worse. You got to be strong. And keep being strong.
You ARE beautiful!!! I didn’t notice the scar on your face until you showed the picture, I am so happy for you that you have made it this far!!! Keep on trucking!!!
Thank you so much for serving our country and the sacrifices you have made to protect it! Was your boyfriend in the service also? I noticed [and they ignored it in the video] that he had a false arm and I think some fingers missing. If that is so, thank him also for his service!
Freaking rahhh Thank you sis for putting this video up. I have watched over and over. I have had 30 surgeries on my right leg, only to have infection over take it. I needed to see this video!
I’m 31 years old. I’ve dealt with my left foot basically being useless my entire life and I wear a brace which helps me walk. I can get around without it and for the most part I’m not limited. But my foot is deformed and constantly develops sores. I’ve had multiple problems with it that keep me off my feet for weeks at a time to allow things to heal and it’s taking so much of my life away. Especially the time I have playing with my kids while they’re young. I’ve dealt with this for so long and I think I want to experience what life is like without this problem. I’m scared about the unknowns if I have my foot amputated. At least I know this pain, and how to deal with this now. But my quality of life is dwindling as I get older. I just want to be able to chase my kids around the yard still, and play golf. And not worry about all these problems with my foot
This is a story about a courageous Marine, a person who have given more than most of us think that we're given. But I'm a Marine and Marines are always thinking about helping people, no matter what color, no matter where in the world and she is a living testament of what people can overcome. I've never met her but I can feel the love and determination that she had while serving and helping the people in Afghanistan. This is a story of God and love. May you be blessed and your soul have eternal joy, my friend.
Hi my name is Bert de Vries from the Netherlands. I think you are a massive brave woman. I lost my foot when I was 21 years old. This was because of an major accident when I was 6 years old. I know how it felt when my foot was cut of. Strange feelings because of my missing limp and the feelings that it is still there. I am 52 years old now. and still thinking about the things I have done in all those years. Driving a bike honda Goldwing 1000cc. Get my lorry licence with no problems. I think You manage in life well but if you ever need to talk with someone who knows what it is, living as an amputee, please don`t hesitate
What a remarkable and beautiful young woman. Thank you for your service , from a Vietnam vet.
To every veteran who thinks their life is over because of limb loss: I lost my leg about a week after my 3rd birthday.

Growing up I played with friends and ran around as much as any other kid. I couldn't run as fast as any of my friends but other than that I have never found myself unable to do what the others could do. I climbed trees, played baseball, rode bikes and got into plenty of trouble. I was the slowest runner, but SOMEBODY is always slowest.

Semper Fi...Great Inspiration....
Outstanding
Wow, this is inspirational Blessings to you and your family.
Good for you. At 66 years, It's hard, but bless us both. In tears and fortitude...
Inspiration. Thank you.
What a Gal! My hero! God bless her!
Can’t even imagine the overwhelming pain
This is a story about a courageous Marine, a person who have given more than most of us think that we're given. But I'm a Marine and Marines are always thinking about helping people, no matter what color, no matter where in the world and she is a living testament of what people can overcome. I've never met her but I can feel the love and determination that she had while serving and helping the people in Afghanistan. This is a story of God and love. May you be blessed and your soul have eternal joy, my friend.
What a amazing woman..
This woman is my hero.
my mom was a medic in the military and some of the stories she has told me is pretty awful :/.. I'm glad that you recovered :)
much respect Miss Ennis....
