  2. Blinded Military Paralympic Champion Meets Guide Dog Matches in Bloomfield

    <strong>BLOOMFIELD</strong>&mdash;When blinded Navy Lt. Brad Snyder wants to walk the eight blocks from his home in Baltimore to his swimming pool, he must allow 45 minutes of stressful, highly focused steps with a white cane. The first time Brad tried a walk with a Fidelco Foundation-trained German Shepherd, he made it four blocks in a breezy ten minutes. Cutting daily travel time in half is just one of the independence-improving measures that Snyder looks forward to when he makes the transition to a full-time guide dog later this month.

  5. 'Body of War'

    ON Sept. 13, 2001, after watching footage of President Bush brandishing his bullhorn atop the rubble of the World Trade Center, <a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/iraq/complete/la-ca-body20apr20%2C0%2C4849983.story">Tomas Young</a>, a 22-year-old from Kansas City, Mo., enlisted in the Army. He thought he'd be sent to Afghanistan to smoke the evildoers out of their caves, as had been suggested. Instead, after completing his basic training at Ft. Hood, Texas, he was shipped to Iraq where, five days later, he was shot through the spinal cord and paralyzed from the chest down while riding through Sadr City in an un-armored, uncovered Humvee.
