Melissa Stockwell is an American war hero who has triumphed over personal tragedy to achieve greatness and World Champion status. She has dedicated her life to chasing remarkable accomplishments while giving back.

After being deployed to Iraq in 2004, she became the first female American soldier to lose a limb in active combat, when her vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. She was honored with a purple heart and a bronze star and made a promise not to let losing a leg slow her down.

Four years later, she became the first Iraq war veteran to qualify for the Paralympic games, competing in swimming at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, where she was selected to be the flag bearer for Team USA. She then turned to the sport of triathlon, competing and medaling in the 2016 and 2021 Paralympic games. Melissa is now training toward Paris 2024 in hopes of her fourth Paralympics.
