Description

Captain David Rozelle, a below-knee amputee, is an icon, resource and inspirational figure for American soldiers injured in recent conflicts abroad.


While in Iraq, commanding 140 troops of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Captain Rozelle lost part of his right leg when a landmine exploded under his Humvee. After returning to duty, and completing a second tour of Iraq on a prosthetic leg, Captain Rozelle now works to help injured soldiers to get back to living. He strongly believes in the hearing power of sports to help accomplish this new mission. Of Domi, he says “When you’re one-legged on crutches in the snow on slick pavement, to know I have Domi there to help is huge!” Mask was created by Kim Rozelle, David’s wife.
