Sgt. John Peck

Griffin has bonded with veteran John Peck who last year underwent a double arm transplant. Peck lost both of his legs and part of his right arm when he stepped on an explosive device while serving in Afghanistan in 2010. The blast also damaged his left arm, which was ultimately amputated.
