A wounded warrior By Tim Maxwell

I AM A MARINE a lieutenant colonel. I know about war. I have studied it for more than 20 years. I have been deployed overseas six times. Three times since 9/11.
Recently, I learned all about another part of war. I was badly wounded during a mortar attack in Iraq in October 2004. It is a traumatic brain injury. My left elbow also was busted. My left cheek has metal in it. It was tough to eat for awhile. It's hard to see.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (March 2, 2006) -- To anyone who has lost a loved one or has experienced the wounds of war I extend my deepest sympathy. Casualties of war are not only those lost, but also those left behind. For the departed, the family feels the loss most. For the wounded, it is both the Marine and those who love them who experience the void of a past life free from disabilities. But, in each case the sacrifice of the Marine was freely given, an outward sign of his or her faithful sense of duty to a cause larger than themselves, committed the day they proudly held up their hand and took their oath.? - Shannon Maxwell, wife of Lt.Col. Tim Maxwell, who while the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit operations officer, sustained a traumatic brain injury from mortar fire shrapnel in Kalsu, Iraq.

A place for wounded warriors

JIM MAHONEY/DMN Lt. Col. Tim Maxwell was hurt during a mortar attack in 2004,
and has the scars to prove it.

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. ? Lt. Col. Timothy Maxwell prided himself on being a hard-core Marine, a square-jawed, straight-talking devil dog who demanded the utmost of his grunts.

He was a tough son of a gun on his third tour in Iraq who thought nothing could rattle him. Then mortar shrapnel pierced his brain.

The hard-charging officer from Dallas found himself in an empty hospital room one morning far from the battlefield, crying tears of rage and fear.

"Suddenly, when you're wounded, you know nothing. There is the confusion and the pills and feeling isolated from your squad," said the 41-year-old Col. Maxwell, former operations officer for the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. "I was alone," he said, and that tormented him most of all. read more
