Major David Rozelle

Major David Rozelle serves as a true inspirational hero for injured American soldiers injured in recent conflicts abroad. While in Iraq, commanding 140 troops of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Major Rozelle lost part of his right leg when a landmine exploded under his Humvee.

After rehabilitation as a below-the-knee amputee, Major Rozelle made the decision to return to active duty -- the first American soldier to do so in modern times. Now having completed a second tour in Iraq on a prosthetic leg, Major Rozelle is helping his fellow injured soldiers to reclaim an active lifestyle, working at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He strongly believes in the healing power of sports to help accomplish his new mission.

After participating in the 2004 San Diego Triathlon Challenge, Major Rozelle became a proud supporter of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). He serves as a role model and mentor in CAF's Operation Rebound program.
