"The story you are about to read is one of persistence in the face of overwhelming odds, and how with love driving a dream, the impossible can be made possible..." -David Schmidt, CEO/Founder, LifeWave, Inc. "Don Collins is a remarkable man with a remarkable story...It begins as a teenager in combat, and passes through a hellish journey...In the end, there is triumph. As a Vietnam veteran myself, this story means a lot to me, and I take a special, deep gratification from my small role in being part of his ultimate victory over his condition." -Michael J. Collins, President, LifeWave, Inc. He Went to War an Idealistic Boy...He Came Back a Broken, Tortured Man At 18 years old, Don Collins joined the US Army to fight for America, even requesting a guarantee he would get to fight in Vietnam - in the infantry. In late 1966, with his request granted, he was shipped off to Vietnam, eager to fulfill his patriotic duty to his country and find the glory of war. In Vietnam, his glorious illusions were quickly shattered by the death, destruction and horror that are the reality of war. Then, on April 5, 1967, in the flash of a VC booby trap blast, Don's body was ripped to shreds and his life was forever changed. He was just 19 years old.
