Bryan Anderson, on the Cover of Esquire

Bryan lost both legs and an arm in Iraq, and seems to get more done with the one remaining arm than most people. He uses prosthetics and has a very positive attitude.

I think I have the record for falling in physical therapy, because I try to push myself to the max on these things, and if you're not falling, you're not trying. That's my motto. I don't fall as much anymore, but for a while I pretty much fell a couple times a day.

I absolutely love the way this guy thinks. Turning adversity into opportunity.

I want to be a stuntman. I could be on prosthetics, and they could blow my legs off. They have a harness attached to me, they pull me back, there's blasting caps on my legs, and boom! My legs are gone.
