In this June 15, 2017 photo, Travis Mills gives a tour of his wounded veterans' camp at the former estate of cosmetics magnate Elizabeth Arden in Rome, Maine. The soldier's life changed on April 10, 2012, when an IED exploded and robbed him of all four limbs. This week Mills is opening a summer retreat to Maine to help others like him who have suffered severe war injuries. Thousands of troops who were hurt in combat and medically retired from the military are forced to forfeit a portion of the benefits they earned for their service. That's because they didn't spend at least 20 years in uniform to reach retirement with full benefits, whether or not it was their choice. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
