He was severely injured when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his Humvee on November 7th, 2003, resulting in the amputation of both his legs above the knee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was at the rear corner of the Humvee when the grenade hit the tail light right beside my right leg and exploded,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was lying on my side. I could see my legs were really messed up.&#8221; Heath yelled to the driver of the vehicle to call the incident in to headquarters. &#8220;I laid my head back down and thats all I remember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heath is currently living in a rented house with his wife and 3 children. Help us build Heath a home that will accommodate his needs and enable him and his family to concentrate on recovery and their future.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"320\" height=\"265\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/1qKEkd4RNs8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We will be finishing the electrical and plumbing and HVAC rough-ins this week!
