Chris and Misty Bain,
U.S. Army, Iraq

Caught in an ambush, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Chris Bain was injured in Iraq in 2004. As he was trying to protect the rest of his unit, he was shot in his right arm and his left arm was torn apart by a mortar explosion.

Chris returned home to Williamsport, Pennsylvania to a hero’s welcome.

During his rehabilitation at Walter Reed, his wife Misty stood by his side as he underwent multiple surgeries and received an implant to help ease the pain. Three years later, she still cares for him every day as he endures chronic pain and emotional stress from his injuries.

Misty’s support never faltered. She is a hero’s hero.

There are thousands of other wives, mothers, fathers and husbands of veterans standing up for their loved ones. These caregivers of America’s disabled veterans deserve our support.

You can help by contacting members of Congress and telling them to support the legislation strengthening programs to support American’s caregivers.
