Sgt. 1st Class Josh Olson's spirit remains unbroken

Sgt. 1st Class Josh Olson may have lost his leg to an RPG in Iraq, but he hasn't lost his spirit. He shoots in the Paralympics next week and is an instructor for the Army's Marksmanship Unit.

SFC Josh Olson, a U.S. Army Paralympic marksman, stands checks out the indoor rifle range at Wagner Range, in Ft. Benning, Ga., Thursday, May 31, 2012. Olson sustained heavy damage to his leg during an ambush attack in Iraq in 2003, in which his right leg had to be amputated. He's currently a apart of the wounded warrior program and the first active duty soldier to qualify for a Paralympics in the field of mixed 50 meter rifle and mixed 10 meter air rifle. (Andrew S.
