Blue Star Riders in Utah present a cane made by Jack Nitz, of the Eastern Oaklahoma Woodcarvers Association, to Marine Lance Corporal Cody Cooper. Corporal Cooper, lost a leg when a grenade exploded in a room they were clearing while engaged with Anti-Iraqi Forces in Ramadi, Iraq. His other leg was severly injured as well. He also brought home many souvineers, as his body is still filled with shrapnel from the grenade.
