Just got this in the e-mail and I figured some folks here would be interested. I searched the forums and didn't see another thread like this or any rules prohibiting a post like this (I give money to HFOT, I don't get any nor do I know SGT Parker personally).
For what it's worth, info on SGT Parker and how he was injured can be found here.
Ugh, stupid frames in e-mail don't show up. Here's the info inside the frame I couldn't see:

I will have to see if I can make that work!
