He is a retired First ClassSergeant with the U.S. Army where he was a Special Forces Soldier anda member of the U.S. Army’s elite parachute team, the Golden Knights.Dana Bowman is a double amputee. He lost his legs in an accident duringthe annual Golden Knights training in Yuma, Arizona, in 1994.On February 6,1994, Bowman gained worldwide attentionwhen he and his teammate Sgt. Jose Aguillon collided in midair duringthe team’s annual training. Bowman and Aguillon were practicing amaneuver known as the Diamond Track. The maneuver calls for thejumpers to streak away from each other for about a mile and then turn180 degrees and fly back toward each other crisscrossing in the sky.Bowman and Aguillon had demonstrated the Diamond Track morethan fifty times without a mistake, but this time was different.Rather than crisscrossing, the two skydivers slammed into eachother at a combined speed of 300 miles per hour. Aguillon died instantly.Bowman’s legs were severed from his body, one above the knee and onebelow the knee. Bowman’s parachute opened on impact. He was taken toa hospital in Phoenix where doctors closed his leg wounds and stopped hisinternal bleeding.Nine months later, he turned this tragedy into a triumph when hebecame the first double amputee to re-enlist in the United States Army.Bowman re-enlisted in the United States Army airborne style, skydivingwith his commander into the ceremony, making his dream a reality.This achievement is just one example of Bowman’s many successes underadverse circumstances.After Dana’s re-enlistment, he became the U.S. Parachute Team’slead speaker and recruiting commander. Dana has been fortunate to havethe opportunity to let his speeches touch so many from the physicallychallenged to the able-bodied. He strives to show physically challengedpeople can still work and excel in today’s society and military. Dana emphasizesthe words amputee and uselessness are not synonymous.Dana has given more than 1000 speeches in the last few years andhas been featured in magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Reader’s Digest,People and many more. There have also been numerous television programs,which focused on Dana and his story. Some of the programs include:Dateline, A Current Affair, Real TV, NBC Person of the Week, Day and Dateand Extra.Dana retired from the United States Army in 1996. He received hisbachelor’s degree in commercial aviation from UND Aerospace in GrandForks, North Dakota in May of 2000.Dana spends a great deal of his personal time working with otheramputees and disabled or physically challenged people. He also spendstime at different military hospitals helping the wounded soldiers during thecurrent world situation.
