Once Homeless, He Turned His Life Around, Became An Army Medic, Became A Father, and Now He’s 
by  MATTHEW RUSSELL - The Veterans Site | Pub: 05/14
There are few stories like David Swierzynski’s, because there are few men who can remain committed to a goal as long as he can, take as many hits as he can, and continue to get back up and fight, every single time. Swierzynski grew up in foster care in the New Jersey area until he was 18.

This weekend, he will graduate Cum Laude with a degree and a teaching certificate in Physical Education from UTSA.
