On April 10, 2012, United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan by an IED (improvised explosive device) while on patrol, losing portions of both legs and both arms. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries. Travis describes himself as a recalibrated warrior and he’s also a motivational speaker, actor, author and an advocate for veterans and amputees. Travis is also the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir, Tough as They Come, and his new book<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bounce-Back-Warrior-Principles-Recalibrate/dp/0306831767/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1706831126&sr=8-1"> Bounce Back: 12 Warrior Principles to Reclaim and Recalibrate Your Life.</a>
In September 2013, Travis and his wife Kelsey founded the <a href="https://travismillsfoundation.org/">Travis Mills Foundation</a>, a nonprofit organization, formed to benefit and assist post 9/11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation. The veteran and their families receive an all-inclusive, all-expenses paid, barrier-free vacation to Maine where they participate in adaptive activities, bond with other veteran families, and enjoy much-needed rest and relaxation in Maine’s great outdoors.
