Abstract

The article focuses on Sgt. Lucas Wilson of the U.S. Army who was injured while serving in Iraq. After just under a year, Wilson went back home for good, walking on a $100,000 graphite-and-titanium prosthetic leg that monitors his weight transfer 50 times a second. His gait isn't pretty, but he gets around. Barely a month after he returned to Oregon, Wilson made good on a promise to three other sergeants to go hunting as soon as possible. It was May, turkey season, and Wilson hunted one.
