Military woman designs artificial limbs for fellow soldiers

HAVERHILL, Mass. —Nicole Catanzaro didn't have much of a family life when she was placed in foster care while in high school.
When she joined the Army National Guard, she found what she'd been missing.
"The Army was like the family I never had," she said.
Still later, after being thrown from the machine gun turret of a Humvee while serving in Iraq, she formed more important relationships while recovering in a military hospital. Those relationships set her on her path for the future.
