War Veteran Finds His Purpose At Church
Tommy Rieman is a U.S Military veteran who was awarded for risking his life to save a fellow soldier. While serving in Iraq, Tommy's team was attacked and heavy gunfire started all around them. Tommy used his own body to protect his gunner and this resulted in him being shot in his chest and in his arm and he suffered wounds in his leg.
Because of his courage, he was awarded the Silver Star, but he did not feel worthy of the recognition he received. People all around him were calling Tommy a hero, but that's not how he saw himself inside. Tommy was back at home while his fellow soldiers were still on the front lines fighting in combat. It was a tough time for Tommy and he began to feel hopeless and out of control.
Then, one of Tommy’s co-workers demanded that he go to church with her. That is when his whole life changed. Tommy found his purpose through connecting to Christ and serving in the church and hearing his amazing story truly touched my heart.
