Marine Corps veteran Nick Kimmel was wounded in Afghanistan in 2011 when he stepped on 40 pounds of hidden explosives.
Nick Kimmel has a passion for golf. He's been playing since he was five years old and was shooting in the 60s on a regular basis. The only thing he may have a greater passion for was being a Marine. He enlisted in 2008.
"I was standing on the forks of a forklift putting a roof on a guard post, and when I jumped off," he said."I landed on 40 pounds of homemade explosives." Moving forward would include healing physically and mentally, and one way to do that was to get back out on the golf course. He hadn't picked up the clubs in five years, but the Semper Fi and America's Fund would provide the help he needed to return to the sport.
