Hoffman and share the disbelief in their optimism. They have taken everything that has happened and focused on the positive. That requires a great strength by his family and friends. Cpl. Hoffman's positive outlook on his situation shows his character and determination. To get a better perspective, you should know that Cpl. Hoffman is native to A Co out of Grand Rapids but was transferred to Weapons Co to augment their forces. This can lower morale quite a bit but as far as I know Hoffman continued to perform his duties well with his new unit. After the terrible event that left him paralyzed, Cpl. Hoffman was flown to Texas where he underwent rehab until his homecoming. I was unaware before the homecoming that he was still not home. Even then though he is still positive and strong (no pity party). I can honestly say that I don't think I'd have such an optimistic view after such a wound. His spirit was contagious as seen through his family and all those that were at his homecoming to support him. I was pleasantly surprised by the positive sentiment towards Cpl. Hoffman's situation despite all the negative events occurring in the country. I was at the homecoming for Cpl. Hoffman and share the disbelief in their optimism.

I wondered myself how I would handle a situation like that, and am glad that I never have had to be in any circumstance where myself or a member of my family has been greatly injured. It was also eye opening to see how his family and girlfriend were reacting with the situation, always being very positive. It seems like they are all well prepared for what is to come, and they are going to be very supportive of Josh during his recovery.
