My recovery has been nothing short of amazing and miraculous. I owe everything to God, my family, friends and community. The support that everyone has provided me has been incredible. Five days after I was wounded, my high school football team, La Salle Institute organized “Kevin Flike Night” and donated all proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project. When I heard that this was taking place, I started crying in my hospital bed. It meant the world to me that people cared so much. I always kept this in mind during my recovery and whenever I wanted to give up I thought about all the people who believed in me. This was one of the articles that announced “Kevin Flike Night” in the local papers.
