Vietnam Vet Helps Other Soldiers With Prosthetics
Reporting
Tom Mustin DENVER (CBS4) ― A 75-year-old Vietnam War veteran who lost his leg during heavy fighting in 1968 isn't letting his wounds slow him down. The amputee now works at the Denver VA Medical Center, helping design custom artificial limbs for fellow service members.

Sgt. Stanley Agena was in the Army during Vietnam. Now he serves in the VA Hospital's prosthetics wing.

"When I got hit, my leg was blown off, but it was barely hanging there," Agena said. "So I just ... crawling around helping the others."
