Ryan Major entered the U.S. Army after graduating from Towson High School in 2003 and was stationed in Germany with the 36th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Armored Division. He achieved the rank of Specialist and became a squad leader. It was not long before Ryan’s brigade went to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

On November 9th, while on patrol, an improvised explosive device exploded near Ryan’s squad. Ryan was critically injured resulting in the loss of both legs along with other injuries that will require extensive continuing surgeries. Ryan was awarded the Purple Heart Medal; his second, and is currently at Walter Reed Medical Center in the intensive care unit.

A foundation has been created, the Ryan C. Major Foundation, to help support Ryan and his family during the coming months and to give them as many options as possible as they look forward to Ryan’s rehabilitation.

An Update on Ryan

The past six months have been full of hard work for Ryan and his family. Ryan’s outlook on life continues to improve with each day. His friends and family are very thankful for all of the hard work and sacrifices the community has made for them. The Ryan C. Major Foundation would like to thank the entire Baltimore and DC communities for everything they have done for the Major Family. Your donations and gifts have helped Ryan along this difficult journey.

Ryan has begun to work with one prosthetic leg on his left side. Ryan is determined to get up and start walking as soon as possible no matter how painful and strenuous it is. His daily therapy sessions are paying off though, as he starts to rebuild muscle in his arms again. It’s amazing to see how far he has come in the past six months.

Construction is still underway at the Major household. An elevator has been built in his home so he can travel wherever he would like. The family’s living room has been turned into Ryan’s room, equipped with a large bathroom accessible for Ryan. All construction has been donated by various companies, and has all been paid for by Sears Holdings Corporation. We would like to thank the Wounded Warrior Project and Ed Salau for all the hard work and time you spent helping the Major Family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Finally we would like to thank a couple sports teams for their generous gifts. They have definitely helped lift Ryan’s spirits.

Special thanks to: The Baltimore Ravens and Ed Reed, the Miami Heat, the New Orleans Saints, the Green Bay Packers, and the Washington Wizards.

THANKS AGAIN,

Jennifer Feeney and Corey Fick
