#IRemember: Mark Ormrod Joins Our Campaign
Inspirational Royal Marine Mark Ormrod, who lost three limbs in an IED strike in Afghanistan in 2007, has joined our #IRemember campaign with a dignified tribute to a fallen comrade.
Mark, who was the first triple amputee from the Afghan conflict to survive his injuries, paid tribute to fellow Marine Damian Mulvihill, who was killed in an IED strike in Helmand province in February 2008.
Remembering his friend, Mark Ormrod said:
"I remember each year on Remembrance Day all of the members of the military who fought in the conflicts before us and gave us many of the freedoms that we get to enjoy today.
"I also remember the men that I deployed to Iraq with in 2003, I remember the men I deployed to Afghanistan with in 2007, and I always take the time to remember my friend, Corporal Damian Mulvihill, who was tragically killed shortly after I was injured."
