After many surgeries and a great deal of rehabilitation, Nader continues his career in the U.S. Navy, eventually becoming the first naval officer to earn the coveted Dolphins with a prosthetic leg. Following several appeals with the Navy's Physical Evaluation Board, Nader learns that his wish to remain as an active duty officer in the U.S. Navy has failed.
Discouraged from the failure but not deterred in life, Nader stumbles into a business opportunity and starts his own information technology company. Nader s story comes full circle ten years after his tragic accident when he wins one of the largest small business contracts from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), a distinguished branch of the U.S. Navy.
