SUN VALLEY -- Eight military amputees won't soon forget their winter vacation in Idaho.
Sgt. Dan Regin was among eight military amputees who hit the slopes of Sun Valley this week.
Several Sun Valley charities made it possible for them to spend the week there to learn how to ski.
It's a small thank you to these men for their sacrifice.
“What we hit was an anti-tank mine,” said Sgt. Dan Gilyeat, U.S.M.C.
Sgt. Gilyeat lost his leg in Iraq, but he did not lose his spirit.
“We've just been going higher and it's getting easier, now I’m just hauling down the side of the mountain,” said Sgt. Gilyeat.
