American Snippets

Jason Schechterle knew he wanted to be a police officer just like his brother. If he'd given up when he failed the first two times, he would never have lived his dream. If he'd walked away from his dream when it cost him his home he would have regretted it forever - even when it almost killed him. Jason was burned alive when his police cruiser exploded in flames. First people thought he was dead. Then they believed he would die any minute, and then they prayed he would die, to avoid the immense pain he would be in. But Jason not only lived, he rose from his hospital bed, forever changed but stronger for his pain. Today he is inspiring people all over the world with his story and his message, "The full strength of the human spirit often lies in hiding until presented with something monumental."
