CBS Eye on Veterans
On this episode:
The Greatest Yoga Master
Army veteran Dan Nevins may have lost his legs after an IED explosion. But that’s just the beginning of his story.
After his transformative rehabilitation, he had to conquer something new -- the opiates he was given by the ton. But along the way, Nevins discovered a force more powerful than anything he had experienced before -- yoga.
We talked with Dan about his journey to becoming one of the nation's premier yoga instructors and public speakers, and how Wounded Warrior Project was there from the very start.

The Greatest Beer Story
In the late 1960s, Marine Corps veteran John “Chick” Donohue decided he was sick of anti-war protests. So, to show his friends fighting in Vietnam that they still cared, he snuck into combat zones to bring his buddies a beer. We talked with him about his amazing story and the new book, “The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A Memoir of Friendship, Loyalty and War.”
