Jonathan Lemoine joined the Air Force in 2014 as a Firefighter, training at Goodfellow AFB, Texas. He was injured while swimming in a nearby lake, ending his career with a spinal cord injury. Despite his injuries he continues to work hard in his recovery, maintaining a positive attitude throughout. He said the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, “Allowed me to work on myself in an environment that felt safe, and they also pushed me to my limits to allow me to realize my full potential.” Johnathan feels that being part of the Air Force team is a huge honor saying, “It means ‘it’s not about you,’ and by that I mean you’re still representing the Air Force and each injured person that think can’t do something.” He plans on going back to school to finish his degree and wants to do peer support for quadriplegic spinal cord injuries at hospitals in his local area.
