Wounded Marine who threw out first pitch at Rockland Boulders game meets Pres. Trump
Marine Sgt. John Peck was severely injured by an IED while serving in Afghanistan. The explosion took off both his legs and his left arm. Later, due to a severe infection, he lost his right arm as well. John was in a coma for three months. In total it took him over two years to recover.
In August of 2018, at the Rockland Boulders “Military Appreciation Night,” John threw out the first pitch in-front of a crowd of 5,000. Sitting in his wheelchair, he used his arm transplants to get the ball across the plate.

Sgt. Peck recently wrote a book detailing his journey – Rebuilding Sergeant Peck: How I Put Body and Soul Back Together After Afghanistan. It can be purchased HERE.
I met Marine Sgt. John Peck, a quadruple amputee who has received a double arm transplant, at Walter Reed in 2017. Today, it was my honor to welcome John (HERO) to the Oval, with his wonderful wife Jessica. He also wrote a book that I highly recommend, “Rebuilding Sergeant Peck.” pic.twitter.com/eiNnHcEU7x

March 23 is National Puppy Day! Established in 2006, it’s a special day for dog lovers to celebrate the unconditional love of puppies and admire the adorable little furballs that bring so much joy into the world. While we can’t resist their cuteness, the day also aims to raise awareness about puppy mills and encourage potential pet owners to consider adopting instead of buying.
