FORT BRAGG, N.C. — It took Jay Erwin two months to find the U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program at Fort Bragg.

When he finally found the program’s representative — Clyde Foster — he was told that he might not be injured enough.

“I’m not sure if your injuries are significant enough to become a member,” Erwin said Foster told him without seeing his medical records.

Erwin was hit in September 2006 by a mortar that peppered his leg, neck and knee with shrapnel during a mission in Iraq.

“I have all my parts, but they just don’t work right,” Erwin said. He still can’t use some of his fingers.
