Update on Liam Dwyer

Post by kyle.bowker »

Former CDC organizer Sgt. Liam Dwyer (ldstang50) was seriously injured on May 22 while serving in the United States Marine Corps in Afghanistan. His left leg had to be amputated above the knee. Both femurs broken, right leg tib/fib broken, collapsed lung, heavy damage to right hand/lower arm, dozens of shrapnel injuries. The good news is no eye or head injury and he still has all his fingers. He has undergone many surgeries to date and his prognosis for recovery is good. He was awarded his second Purple Heart on June 1 and he was recently engaged to his fiancée Kaitie Kelleher.

Liam is currently recuperating at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. When I visited him last Saturday he was in Building 10 Wing 5C. Visitors are welcome any day between 6am and 10pm. He is in good spirits and is looking forward to making progress with his physical rehabilitation so he can get behind the wheel of his new Ford Mustang Boss 302 as soon as possible.

To track his progress check out http://liamdwyer1.blogspot.com/ or follow him on Facebook.

A fund has been set up by Liam's dad Bill for those interested in contributing. Donations can be done at any Webster Bank or by mailing a check made out to: 'Sgt. Liam Dwyer Fund' at
