STEVENSVILLE, Md. (AP) - A Marine Corps veteran who lost both legs in combat is nearing the end of a cross-country, hand-cycling trip.
Maryland State Police say they'll help escort Toran Gaal over the Bay Bridge as he heads into Annapolis Friday.
He plans to end his two-month trip from Julian, California, to Arlington, Virginia, Sunday by placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
The Oakhurst, California, native was wounded by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2011.
He's making the trip to raise funds for the Semper Fi Fund, which helps wounded service members and their families.
