Army CPT Mark Little

Weatherford, TX

In 2002, driven by a desire to serve others, Mark Little enlisted in the Army National Guard while attending college and participating in ROTC.

On September 7, 2007, then Lieutenant Little was serving as a platoon leader with the 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division in Baghdad, Iraq, when an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) struck his vehicle, resulting in the traumatic below-the-knee amputation of his legs, burns on his upper body, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

He was airlifted to the Combat Support Hospital in Baghdad for immediate treatment before transferring to Landstuhl, Germany. Stateside, he underwent multiple surgeries and extensive physical rehabilitation at Walter Reed Medical Center.

Mark and his wife, Alicia, are active with their local church and community. They enjoy volunteering for Veteran-focused organizations and share a passion for serving others.

Originally from Virginia, Mark is choosing to build his home in Texas for the Veteran community and to be close to friends.
