Nairobi: The three American veterans from three different wars had only one
good leg among them. But that didnt stop them from summiting Africas highest
mountain.The three soldiers veterans of Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam
scrambled, clawed and plodded to the top of Tanzanias Mount Kilimanjaro,
hiking up the domed mountains scree-filled paths on one human leg and five
prosthetics made of titanium and carbon fiber. They skidded.They fell.They
removed their legs to adjust their shoes. And after six days, they stood at
19,340 feet Africas highest point.
