Melissa Stockwell competes -- and Aam Ras (2024) Hindi Short Filmwins, as she did on Sunday -- with a "Never Forget 9/11/01" sticker on her bike.
She was in the ROTC in Colorado when the Twin Towers fell; in 2004, she would serve in Iraq, where she became the first female American soldier to lose a limb in active combat -- in this case, her leg to a roadside bomb.

Allysa Seely took the gold, Hailey Danisewicz the silver, and Stockwell got the bronze. This is the first year the paratriathlon has been an event at the Paralympic Games. The race consists of a 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike ride and 5-kilometer run.
While Paralympic regulations don't allow for decorations like Stockwell's sticker, she got around them by covering it with blue electrical tape.
"I know it's under there, so I'll be imagining it," she told the Associated Press before the race.

This isn't the first time Stockwell has won something; she already has a Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal. Her Paralympic medal, however, will also look pretty good on the mantle.
"I want to be known more for not what happened to me," she said, "but what I did with my injury after it happened."
