If the success of any long journey begins with the first step, imagine, if you can, a goal of walking from Los Angeles to New York -- on your hands!

That is what Bob Wieland, a double amputee the result of a land mine explosion from his 1969 tour in Vietnam, believed as he set out on his 2,784 mile stroll across America...

The trip took three years, eight months and six days, and is just one of Mr. Wieland's incredible accomplishments.

This decorated war hero has also completed the Iron Man Triathlon in Hawaii; the Marine Corps Marathon, as well as the Los Angeles and the New York City long distance races, and has biked from L.A. to Washington in 35 days.

"Through faith in God, dedication and determination," said Wieland, "there is nothing within the will of God that a person cannot achieve."

Wieland's journey through life embodies a daily battle cry reminds people that success can be measured in the smallest of steps.
