Retired U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Sean Adams wants his life to feel as normal as it did before Feb. 10, 2012. Last summer, he was working toward some kind of normalcy after stepping on an improvised explosive device four years ago in Kajaki, Afghanistan, losing his legs and damaging his right hand, left arm and left eye. Adams was living with his parents in Gainesville, trying to get a loan to build his own home, when he got a call from actor Gary Sinise.
