Iraq War veteran Christopher R. Bain is seen in the American Legion offices in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2008. Bain filed for about 10 disabilities after his tour in 2004. Bain, now 36, came under mortar fire outside Baghdad and was hit several times. He successfully fought doctors who wanted to amputate his left arm. But 10 operations later, he still needs help getting dressed each day. An electrical stimulator implanted in his upper buttocks helps dull the pain from his injuries. "It's hard, you go through certain periods of remorse," said Bain. "I am never going to be the man I once was." (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
