11:48am U.S. Army veteran Scott Folensbee, of New Hampshire, served for two tours in Viet Nam as a combat medic with the 11th Armored Combat Regiment, and was awarded four Purple Hearts. He was shot three times and injured a fourth time when a 250-lb bomb exploded under the APC he was travelling in, crushing his vertebrae. He came to West Roxbury's reknown Spinal Cord Injury unit for care after aquiring a back infection at another hospital. "This is the cutting edge," he says. "I'm delighted to be here. And I've got great roomates, and we've all been in the military so we've got something in common. It's nice to be able to share, and at the same time, to help each other out."
