Wow, that's all I can say
What a guy! Please Lord, help me to stop complaining about The small stuff, the medium stuff and even the large stuff !
Anyone think they might be having a bad day? This Marine should inspire everyone to be thankful for all their blessings. How can one not admire this man?Corporal Todd Love, a native of Georgia , became the third generation in his family to become a Marine when he joined the service immediately after high school.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookHe was assigned to B Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion and deployed to Afghanistan in 2010.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookFive months into his deployment while on patrol in Sangin, Helmand Province , Todd stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) and was transferred to Walter Reed Army Medical Center .Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookThe resulting injury cost him both of his legs and part of his left arm.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookDespite the extent of his injuries, and a very long road to recovery, Todd has never let anything hold him back from getting 110% out of life.Exactly what does 110% look like?Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookHe whitewater kayaks.Image Credit: CBS NewsHe skis.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookHe free falls at 30K feet.Image Credit: Niklas DanielHe wrestles an Alligator.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookHe has fun joking around with ladies.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookAim.

I might not be able to carry anybody physically but I want to return the favor by simply sharing my story to inspire people.Todd still proudly wears his uniform.Image Credit: Todd Love/FacebookAnd has even inspired his own meme.Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi, Todd.
