Being a United States Marine is tough enough, but imagine only having one arm. Col. Timothy Howard lost his arm about 20 years ago, but he hasn't let that keep him from serving his country. It's not too often you find a Purple Heart recipient who continues to serve our country, let alone one who still ranks first class in the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test.
Close to 20,000 recruits and marines achieve their marksmanship qualifications each year at Parris Island, and Col. Howard is the man behind it all. Howard serves as the commanding officer for the Weapons and Field Training Battalion at Parris Island, a position he serves with pride.
