These are the 5 soldiers who became adaptive ski instructors this week---they passed their PSIA(Professional Ski Instructors Assn.)Level 1 certification for adaptive skiing and received a bronze pin. It's a 2-day exam that tests your knowledge of skiing and teaching. They took this because they wanted to teach other soldiers how to ski.

The two soldiers in the front(L-R: Mark Mix and Heath Calhoun) ski siting down in a mono-ski. Mark's spinal cord was severed in an attack and Heath lost both legs in an explosion. The 3 soldiers in the back(L-R: Damion "Jake" Jacobs, Jeff Adams and Ed Salau) all lost a leg and ski as "3 trackers". They are all very exceptional individuals.
