America's Heroes

On July 2, 2007, Staff Sgt. Ramon Padilla was injured in a mortar attack in Afghanistan. Even though he suffered traumatic brain injury and had his left arm severed, the father of four says he would do it all again.

"I came in the Army to defend my family and the people that live here and that was my job," he says. "Everybody knows that going in there's a chance we might go to war and stuff like that, but we were trained, and that's what we do. That's what we signed up to do."
