Kyle Carpenter thought he was living his final moments on a rooftop in Afghanistan. Severely wounded and bleeding out, he thought about his mother, said a prayer, and lost consciousness. Almost five weeks later, he woke up to Christmas stockings hanging on his hospital room wall. In this Black Rifle Coffee conversation, Kyle recounts the sniper fire and rocket attack that preceded his injuries, the disorientation after the grenade blast, and the long road back. He explains how his recovery started with one small goal: sit up, stand, take a step, and eventually run a marathon. He has since crossed that finish line three times.
