FINDING WAYPOINTS
A Warrior’s Journey to Peace and Purpose
​
By Terese Schlachter
With Colonel Gregory D. Gadson (Ret.)
​
On a black, cloudless May night in the Iraqi desert, a carefully concealed IED explodes beneath the Humvee where Lieutenant Colonel Greg Gadson is riding shotgun, hurtling him into a life he never expected or wanted. The robust 6-foot-tall, up-and-coming military officer and former West Point football player suddenly finds himself a 148-pound man, with no legs and only one functional arm.
