Toran Gaal’s Ride Across America
Toran Gaal was a Marine infantryman who lost both his legs in Afghanistan in 2011. He decided that he wanted to be an example to all disabled service members so he took off on a hand-cycle from California. His journey ended 4,000 miles and two months later at the Marine Corps memorial in Alexandria, Virginia yesterday. He also raised nearly $50,000 for the Semper Fi Fund on his ride.
Welcome home, Toran.

What a superb young man!
Mr. Gaal was interviewed when he came through our area and was so impressive. He found a constructive way to direct his energy.
What an inspiration. Thank you, Toran.
Good job!
One of the most potent weapons in the American Arsenal is a Marine Infantryman with a made up mind. Hard to stop, near impossible to keep down.
Semper Fi Mr. Gaal.
PS. He is still a Marine Infantryman, he has just redeployed to another position.
Roger that.
In the Immortal words of Chestie; “Where do you put the Bayonet on that thing”
Strength and Honor.
Damn Marines… All of ’em, a bunch of showoffs…
Good job young Marine. You are a testament to the great spirit that encompasses all those that carry that title.
Now, if he was just an 11B we would be good…
A hearty BRAVO ZULU to that USMC Warrior that drove on!!!
Well done, Marine.
Somehow I don’t think we have to worry all that much about this guy. He seems to have the strength of character to handle whatever life hands him competently and honorably.
Hey VA, hire this Marine.
Well done!
Awesome stuff… Great Job !!!!!!
As my last post on TAH, this man has humbled us. A man who lost his legs fighting for FREEDOM in another country and bikes his way to Arlington, makes DRC, the biggest pussies in the world. We are in awe of such strength and courage. God bless you TORAN
