And just as his life was about to hit rock bottom, Antwone enlisted in the U.S. navy--a decision that would ultimately save him. There, he became a man and discovered a loving family he never had. Through it all, Antwone refused to allow his spirit to be broken and never gave up his dreams of a better day.
