I have long viewed Evan as a Hero, not due to an heroic act, but as an heroic example of how to handle & overcome adversity. The young man has GUTS...MAJOR LEAGUE guts!
Let us not overlook a young lady to be admired....his wife Jillian. A tear or two came to my eyes when I read that she accepted his proposal AFTER his injuries. As a Vietnam medic, I can tell you it would have been easy for her to walk away but she stood by, & continues to stand by, Evan. He has a pretty darned special & courageous wife too. There is no doubt that she has played a very large part in his recovery.
God Bless them,
Mike
