Sgt Luis Remache
Central Islip, NY
Marine Sergeant Luis Remache was three months into his third deployment when he lost both of his legs and suffered elbow, stomach, and hand damage in a firefight in Sangin, Afghanistan on June 29, 2011. While on an overnight mission off-post, a grenade blast and small arms fire caused the traumatic amputations of both of Sgt Remache’s legs above the knees, severe stomach lacerations, and severely injured his right elbow and both hands.
Transported a short distance by truck, Sgt Remache was treated at an Afghan Local hospital before being medevaced to Camp Leatherneck. Airlifted to Landstuhl, Germany, Sgt Remache arrived at Walter Reed National Medical Center at Bethesda within days of the attack. Luis has endured nearly a dozen surgeries and remains in Bethesda at this time; continuing his treatments and therapies.
