I wrote about Capt. Patrick Horan back in November as part of a package of stories about traumatic brain injuries among returning soldiers from the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. Slide show that ran with the story is here.
Now Horan's recovery is featured on an hour-long documentary called "Wounded Warriors," broadcasting on the Military Channel. Program times are here; it will next be on at 5 and 8 p.m. PDT Saturday.
"The presentation is a true story of hope and inspiration," writes Pat's brother, Richard. "An even more amazing sequel to this show is how far Patrick has further improved and recovered since this was filmed last winter."
Richard visited his brother and Pat's wife Patty on June 16-17 at the Casa Colina Rehabilitation Hospital in Pomona, Calif.
"He now walks almost completely unaided (even jaunts a bit) and cognitively he is doing even more -- he is well-spoken, responsive and I had much fun just hanging around and laughing with him."
Click! digital subscribers can see the Military Channel on channel 224. Comcast digital subscribers get it on 274.
