Clebe McClary had it all. He won scholarships, set state records for athletic achievements, taught Sunday School in his home of Florence, South Carolina. He married the most attractive cheerleader from his high school--and then his life changed. He joined the Marine Corps, was sent to officer's training, and directly on to Vietnam during the height of the war. He was operating behind enemy lines in that Southeast Asian nation when a satchel charge exploded, nearly ending his storybook life. Lieutenant Clebe McClary lost an eye, an arm and much of the use of his remaining hand in that blast. But his recovery and his resolve make him a true American hero--and a role model of perseverance for your students.
