Smiley was wounded and permanently lost his vision during his
2005 deployment to Iraq. He attributes his strength and drive
during his recovery to his family, faith and friends.

“It was my wife, my family and friends who were in my hospital
room singing songs and reading the Bible that gave me the strength
during my recovery," said Smiley, a member of the
USMA Class of 2003.
