Then Staff Sgt. Joseph Kapacziewski, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment,
adjusts his prosthetic leg after a successful combat operation in
Afghanistan in 2009.
Four years earlier, Kapacziewski was
wounded by an enemy grenade Oct. 3, 2005 in Iraq during his fifth combat
deployment with 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. In March 2006,
doctors amputated his leg below the knee. Three years later, after
additional surgeries, completing hundreds of hours of physical therapy,
and completing the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program 2,
Kapacziewski returned to 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and
deployed as a Ranger Squad Leader in 2009 to Afghanistan. After
returning, he was promoted to Sgt. 1st Class and became a Ranger Platoon
Sergeant.
Earlier this year, Sgt. 1st Class Joseph
Kapacziewski completed his third combat rotation to Afghanistan as a
Ranger Platoon Sergeant in 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.
