    Overcoming one-in-a-million infection to compete

    First Lt. Christopher Parks, a physician’s assistant, currently assigned to the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Hood, Texas, and a native of Lakeside, Calif., competes in the swimming event of the Army Trials at Fort Bliss, Texas, April 2. Around 80 wounded or injured Soldiers and veterans competed in the event. Parks’ right leg was amputated in 2014, following an infection from necrotizing fasciitis. He placed first in three swimming events, and second in one event.
