Josh Bleill tells people he had "one bad day." On October 15, 2006, while on a combat patrol in Fallujah Iraq, an IED (improvised explosive device) struck Josh's Humvee. The explosion tore through the vehicle killing two of his fellow marines and severely injuring Bleill and his best friend. Josh awoke five days later with the news of the loss of his two friends and both of his legs. Recovering physically presented a great challenge, but the mental recovery was the true battle. For three and a half months he never left the hospital. He didn't want people to see his injured body. The hospital corridors gave him a safe place to hide. Josh's life turned when an anonymous National Football League team owner arranged for Josh and fifteen to twenty other injured Marines to travel to Miami for Super Bowl XLI. Sitting in the pouring rain watching his favorite team,the Colts, win a world championship, Josh realized he had to make a choice.
