History
On July 19, 2007, Airman First Class Brandon Gauvreau suffered a life-altering aneurysm at [former] McChord Air Force Base in Lakewood, Washington (now, as of 1 October 2011, Joint Base Lewis-McChord). He fell into a coma that lasted almost eight weeks. To many, the bright future for the 19-year-old US Air Force serviceman had practically ended with the hemorrhagic stroke that resulted in arm, leg, and visual paralysis. Yet Gauvreau bravely faced another series of battles, to champion -- once and for all -- what to others seemed like a lost cause.
