62. From Wounded Warrior to Artist & Author: The Story of Mario Lopez
Manage episode 424733698 series 3560893
This week's guest is Mario Lopez, a wounded warrior who served deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. He survived critical injuries from a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, which brought him to The Burn Center at the San Antonio Military Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston. After years of surgeries and recuperation, Mario has gone on to write a book about his experiences, and he is a self-taught artist whose work now hangs at the very military installation here where he was treated.
