FORT CARSON, Colo. — Army Capt. David Rozelle loosens his belt buckle, the one his commander gave him on the eve of the Iraq war, to reveal a 16-word inscription: "Brave Rifles! Veterans! You have been baptized in fire and blood and have come out steel."


U.S. Army Capt. David Rozelle lost his right foot to an Iraqi land mine last year. After surgery, rehabilitation and being fitted with a prosthesis, he has been pronounced "fit for duty" and will resume a command position in June. He alternates his workouts with weight lifting and swimming at Fort Carson, Colo.
