IN THIS EPISODE
Shilo Harris
On his second deployment with the 10th Mountain Division he was assigned and worked near southern Baghdad. On February 19, 2007, Harris’ armored vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device (IED). The explosion injured the driver and ended the lives of three of his fellow soldiers. Shilo survived but with severe third degree burns on 35% of his body. The severity of the burns meant the loss of Shilo’s ears, the tip of his nose and three fingers. The crushing explosion fractured his left collarbone and C-7 vertebrae.The devastating injuries required that Shilo remain in a medically induced coma for 48 days; after, he spent nearly three years recovering and undergoing intensive physical therapy at the burn unit of Brooklyn Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio, TX. While at BAMC, he was the first soldier to participate in cutting-edge regenerative stem-cell research to regrow his fingers, and later received prosthetic ears. Shilo’s recovery has involved more than 75 surgeries, which required his family to spend up to six hours a day on wound care. Shilo also struggled from PTSD. In 2010 he was medically retired from the Army. Shilo reflects on his time in the service and his injuries: “Everything in life is a gift. Sometimes it may not be the gift you want but you realize that your challenges are a new beginning.”
Steven Elliot
Steven Elliott graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. degree in international business from Oral Roberts University in 2003. Three weeks later he began army Basic Training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Like many others, Steven joined the military in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He successfully completed the Ranger Indoctrination Program (RIP) and became a member of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. In November 2003, at the age of twenty-two, he was assigned to the same platoon as Pat and Kevin Tillman. In April 2004, Steven deployed to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. On April 22, in the midst of an enemy ambush, he was one of four Rangers who mistook Pat Tillman’s position for that of the enemy and fired there. Steven is one of two Rangers considered likely to be responsible for firing the bullets that killed Pat Tillman (the source of the fatal bullets has never been conclusively determined) and is the only shooter to speak publicly about the incident and its aftermath. Steven served honorably and with distinction during his remaining years in the service and fulfilled his four-year term in 2007. Today, he is the president of Capstone Trust in Olympia, Washington. He has served as a volunteer veterans court mentor and continues to speak about his experiences in an effort to advocate for change in how the unseen wounds of war suffered by those in uniform are recognized and treated
