UWL grad back in US; Family says condition is improving
Menomonie (WQOW) - A local wounded soldier returned to the U.S. Sunday night.
Jason Church's father says Jason is now at the Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Maryland.
Army 2nd Lt. Church lost both legs below the knee when a roadside bomb exploded last week in Afghanistan. Church is an Army Airborne Ranger and 2007 graduate of Menomonie High School.
Church graduated in 2011 from UW-La Crosse where he played fullback for the Eagles football team and graduated from the ROTC program.
His father says Jason had another round of surgery Monday morning and his condition continues to improve. The biggest concern now is the risk of infection. His father says they continue to be amazed by the support from the community.
