Summary:

The true story of a young man, Ron Kovic, who's life changes from that of a zealous teen who eagerly volunteers for the Vietnam War to an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Overcoming both personal and societal obstacles, he becomes a strong voice for patriotic, but disenchanted veterans and citizens alike.
