Sergeant Gary Boggs, U.S. Army (Ret.) On September 26, 2003 Gary Boggs was headed to Qatar from Iraq for a few days of rest and relaxation when the road home took a tragic turn. It was supposed to be his first day off since May 2 of that year, but a few miles south of the Tikrit camp, Gary’s Humvee was hit badly by an IED. Shrapnel pelted the left side of his body causing him to lose an eye rupturing both ear drums and damaging nerves to his left arm and hand. Gary was evacuated to Baghdad for immediate surgery on his eye, then to Kuwait and finally flown to a hospital in Landstuhl, Germany to begin his road to recovery. Gary currently lives in Cape Coral, FL and is attending school at Franklin University to get two bachelors degrees, one in Business Management and the other in Communications. Gary is now a National Spokesman for CSAH.
