Articles Offering New Roles to Wounded Marines “Tell me when,” one of them, Brent Callender, calls out, positioned just inside the flapping curtain of a doorway. “Action!” the other, Ben Bagby, yells and takes aim — with a video camera. Mr. Callender, 22, walks, leaning on his cane. Mr. Bagby, 24, shoots him, take after take, practicing tracking shots on a mock-up Iraqi village that was situated on a movie studio lot here where marines train They are among 19 marines in one of the more unconventional film and media production schools around, the Wounded Marine Careers Foundation, a 10-week apprenticeship program guided by film industry veterans.
Freedom Alliance Treats Wounded Service Members to a Night on the Town By Jamie Critchfield Monday, 09 April 2007 It’s been said that the fastest way to a Marine’s heart is through his stomach, so Freedom Alliance reached the stomachs – and hearts – of numerous Marines last week when they took these brave wounded heroes from Naval Medical Center San Diego and the Wounded Warrior Center at Camp Pendleton to dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in downtown San Diego.

Pendleton to do 'the right thing' for wounded Much more than a roof and walls, the
Warriors share respect, experiences Purple Heart recipients can be a self-deprecating lot. They claim to be a step slower than their comrades, unable to duck or dive out of the way in time. So they get shot, or blown up, or injured in some other way in the fog of war. Next thing they know, they are in the hospital and someone is giving them a medal, the kind it’s impossible to win. When you earn a Purple Heart, you always lose something.
Purple Heart Veterans, Wounded Warriors Get Together
CNN From Alex Quade CAMP LEJEUNE, North Carolina (CNN) -- At a first-of-its-kind barracks at Camp Lejeune, Marines wounded in Iraq share their recoveries with the one group of people who understand -- each other. They live at Maxwell Barracks, named for Lt. Col. Timothy Maxwell, who suffered a serious head wound in 2004 and almost died near Iskandiriya, a city in Iraq's notorious "Triangle of Death." When the injured Maxwell got back to the United States, he asked his superiors if he could use a building to help his wounded comrades get through the final phases of recovery. The Marines at Maxwell Barracks go through this battle together rather than being sent back to their units.
Finding meaning amid the carnage in Iraq
By Alex Quade NEW YORK (CNN) -- I talked quietly with an 8-year-old boy at his home in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. His father -- a lieutenant colonel in the United States Marine Corps -- suffered severe brain injuries while on duty in Iraq and had been back home recovering for more than a year. "It's scary. What happens if he dies in the middle of the night?" the boy said, his big blue eyes brimming with emotion and showing the wisdom of someone beyond his years. I first met the boy's father, Lt. Col. Timothy Maxwell, when an incoming mortar near Iskandiriya, Iraq wounded him. Now, at his home, it was difficult to comprehend just how this Marine's life and that of his family had been changed forever -- in an instant -- while putting his life on the line for his country.

Lt. Col. Tim Maxwell was hurt during a mortar attack in 2004, and has the scars to prove it. CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Lt. Col. Timothy Maxwell prided himself on being a hard-core Marine, a square-jawed, straight-talking devil dog who demanded the utmost of his grunts. He was a tough son of a gun on his third tour in Iraq who thought nothing could rattle him. Then mortar shrapnel pierced his brain. The hard-charging officer from Dallas found himself in an empty hospital room one morning far from the battlefield, crying tears of rage and fear. Injured Marines' spouses endure ordeal together
