Dan Nevins, a highly decorated United States Army Veteran with bilateral prosthetics, was the honored guest and spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project at an oceanfront concert at Gurney’s Inn Resort and Hotel on Sunday, August 16. Mr. Nevins lost his left leg while deployed in Iraq and after over 30 surgeries and a bone infection, his right leg was also removed. Afterwards, Mr. Nevin has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. “There is nothing I can’t do;·he told a group of children on the beach, whose parents brought them  over to meet and  thank him. “My feet never hurt;’ Mr. Nevins added. “I can walk on fire or hot coals, it doesn’t hurt at all. That’s the silver lining; he told them. “I was in combat in Iraq. My legs were hurt so bad they couldn’t fix them, so they took them off. It’s all good;’ he said. Now, he told the kids he is doing “awesome: ·”When something happens and I can’t control it, I have a choice to be sad or I can choose to make the best of it; he explained.
