One of those American women is Melissa Stockwell whose Stronger t-shirt is now being sold at Takepride.com.

Four years ago Melissa became the first American female amputee of the Iraq War. She looks back at her experience in Iraq as something that has pushed her to achieve so many incredible accomplishments. Melissa is continuing to live out her dream in ways beyond anyone could have ever imagined and next week she competes as a swimmer in the Paralympic Games in Beijing.
