Matt Cable joined the Montana National Guard shortly after graduating from high school because he just wanted to move on with his life. Little did he know at the time that saving his own life would be by far the biggest challenge he would face in the years to come. But he did live. In fact, Cable is thriving. And in 2022, he won two gold medals, a silver, and four bronze in the Invictus Games.

In this edition of :Veterans Chronicles," Sgt. Cable takes us into his battles with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), being in a coma and on the verge of death, finding out he had relapsed while on an overseas delpoyment, and enduring a bone marrow transplant to save his life.

Cable shares how he battled through these challenges both physically and mentally,how his love for fitness kept him alive and led to him meeting his wife in the most unlikely of ways, and why he challenged himself not only to recover from brutal bouts with cancer but return to the highest levels of competition.
