Have you heard the story of Alex Minsky? He's a 24-year-old former US Marine and veteran of the Afghan War who survived after driving into an improvised explosive device.
He went into a coma and ended up losing his left leg, but didn't let it stop him from going on with his life…and pursuing a career as an underwear model.
After recovering from his traumatic injury and learning to walk again with a prosthetic leg, Alex turned his focus to his fitness, health, and mental attitude. He gives back regularly with large donations to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that provides aide to wounded service members like him.
"It's all about progress," he Alex told the New York Daily News. "I just want to be happy and healthy…that's really all I want to do."

Despite falling into a brief coma and losing his leg...
...Alex learned to walk again.
Alex posts photos for his fans on his Facebook page in the hopes that he will inspire them to recover from their own injuries and obstacles.
Alex was discovered by an underwear modeling agency nine months ago at a Southern California gym.
He certainly has a lot to smile about!
"I didn't set out to be an underwear model; I just like taking care of myself and working out. It just so happens that I look good in underwear."
And we just so happen to agree.
