In December 2006, while stationed in Iraq, John Kriesel lost both his legs and his two closest friends when their Humvee triggered 200 pounds of explosives. His story of resiliency and positivity in the aftermath will be the focus of his motivational presentation, “Still Standing, Still Smiling” Monday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Ostrander Auditorium. The free event is sponsored by the CSU, the Veterans Resource Center and Radio Mankato (KFAN listeners will recognize John Kriesel as a frequent Friday guest on the Power Trip Morning Show).
