Wa Ex: Retired Texas Marine Staff Sgt. Jose Sanchez is a recovering amputee, but that didn’t stop him from leaving an indelible mark on this year’s Boston Marathon.

Sanchez was injured in 2011 while serving in Afghanistan and has been private about the incident until now.
For five years, a gift Sanchez received from his fellow Marines remained unopened. Yet, it was that gift that changed his perspective and spurred him from his antisocial state.
The gift was a large American flag signed by his fellow troops with notes of encouragement and inspiration.
Sanchez was determined to not merely put the flag away, but to display it in honor of the troops who motivated him to get past his anger and depression and find a positive outlet to give back. read more
