As an Army veteran, Craig Morgan has always made it a point to give back to his fellow comrades. In the case of U.S. Army SFC Josh Ferguson, Morgan did just that.
Ferguson, a 20-year member of the military, was injured when his vehicle was exploded by an IED-similar device. He sustained injuries that left him with an above the knee amputation, shrapnel pitted over his body, a surgically repaired leg, deteriorated hips, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and more.
After recovering from his physical changes at the Walter Reed Medical Center, he went on to serve with the Wounded Warrior Brigade in order to continue his service to the United States. Since then, he’s been awarded with several medals, including a Purple Heart, Combat Action Badge, GWOT Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, among others.
