FORT WORTH, Texas An Iraq War veteran who lost both his legs in a roadside bombing in 2007 became a Fort Worth police officer Friday.
Zach Briseno, who now stands tall with prosthetic legs, was among 24 graduates of Class 148 after he passed every rigorous physical test that other recruits were required to complete.
“I’ve wanted to be a police officer since I was a kid,” he said.
Briseno wanted to be a U.S. Marine, too, so he did that first, NBCDFW reported.
While serving his second tour in Iraq, in 2007, his Humvee hit a roadside bomb.
