Tougher than the rest

You have 'tough guys', and then you have guys that are tough. And whatever side you're on you can not help but respect these guys for their determination, willpower and fighting spirit.

Story:
You would think that soldiers who lost an arm or leg in combat would have had enough of the front lines, and would be glad to come home for good. But they are doing just the opposite.

(But) duty takes many forms, and it may not mean combat.

"First I saw my left (hand), and thought, well great, that's gone. And I looked over at my right hand and that was gone, and I thought well... there's both of them," said Marine Sergeant Sean Wright.

Wright was injured in the battle for Fallujah, but he was so determined to remain a Marine.

He found a new job. The sergeant who lost both his hands is now teaching martial arts to his fellow Marines.

Even though he knows he will never return to the battlefield, he still longs to be back in Iraq.
