An ex-soldier who was blinded by grenades in Iraq said his family pay the ultimate sacrifice.
Craig Lundberg, 37, originally from Walton Vale but now lives in Mossley Hill, was hit by by two rocket propelled grenades usually used for targeting helicopters or armoured vehicles while on his second tour of Iraq in 2007.
Still a teenager and already a commander, Craig was dispatched as part of a team to arrest terrorists when he suffered the horrific injuries that so nearly ended his life and left him completely blind. Yet, the 37-year-old managed to get up and tried to carry on fighting - a fact that led to him to receive a bravery award.
