While serving as a rescue swimmer in the U.S. Coast Guard, Dave Riley contracted a serious bacterial infection that resulted in the amputation of all four of his limbs. During his recovery, he found strength in knowing he could do anything if he worked hard enough, and went on to become DAV’s first quadruple amputee and the first Coast Guard veteran to be elected to the organization’s top post: National Commander.
