“I’ve only shot a bow about three of four times in my life and I’m not too bad at it,” said the marine. Lafitte, 25, is paralyzed from the waist down. He was involved in a terrible bus accident about a year ago. He says it’s been a tough recovery, but is thankful to be alive and ready to move forward.
This weekend, he and several other wounded marines are at the Olympic Training Center trying different sports and learning about the Paralympics. “They’re showing me that and giving me hopes and ambitions that I can still accomplish anything I set my mind do,” he said.
