Captain Greene was seriously injured during Operation Archer Roto 1, in Kandahar, and due to the nature of his injuries, he was kissed-off by our government.
He was not capable of filling in paperwork prior to the April 1, 2006 deadline, and as a result, was compensated under the NVC lump-sum award.
How are we, yes, this includes myself, who were robbed of our disability pension; are to concentrate on a full potential recovery?? When we must contend with such injustice...

On March 4, 2006, Trevor Greene took off his helmet as a sign of respect when speaking with village elders in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. He went to Afghanistan as a Civil-Military Co-Operation officer. Connecting hard military work with the rebuilding effort was his everyday mission until that day, when a young man ignored the traditions that ensured the guests' safety, and snuck up behind the Captain to swing a crude axe two-handed into his skull. Unconscious, Trevor was evacuated, flown to Germany, then eventually to hospital in Vancouver. He had to undergo various surgeries, and spent long periods of time in a number of care facilities. His fiancée, Debbie, was told he would never come out of his coma. But he did, after which they said he would never be able to move on his own. He continues to prove them wrong today. Trevor lives in Nanaimo, BC, with Debbie (now his wife), and their daughter and son. With his wife he’s written “March Forth,” a book that tells their story. Trevor was also the subject of a CTV documentary; Peace Warrior. Trevor and Debbie believe in the power of education, and the importance of educating girls. They’ve set up the Greene Family Education Initiative to help educate young Afghan women to become teachers.

His incredible recovery has defied the odds, inspired many, and continues today. He can now stand and is walking on parallel bars. Modern innovation, however, offers another opportunity for rehabilitation; exoskeleton technology. This basically consists of a portable system of braces, motors, and an onboard computer that are designed to allow wheelchair-bound patients to walk again. This technology isn’t yet widespread, and is expensive. We’re looking to raise the awareness and money needed to bring this technology to Canada for Trevor, and potentially impact others with similar conditions.

How can we help Trevor walk again? Go to the link below, register and vote. Then tell all your friends to do the same

One of our bravest veterans who is defeating all the odds and showing doctors that they should never tell a veteran "you will never come out of your coma and you will never move". So lets help Trevor do the ultimate never tell me "I will never walk again".
