NEVER GIVE UP! Former marine turned amputee becomes fitness & underwear model

Do not ever give up! That's the story of 25 year old, former US marine and Afghan war veteran Alex Minsky as his tragedy had metamorphosed into triumph. He lost his right leg in an explosion in 2009 after driving over an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan when he was just 21.

After losing his leg, he fell into depression and heavy drinking but with the help of his family, he found himself again and made some changes in his life. He also started working out regularly at a gym and that was where he was discovered by model scouts. Alex is now a sort after fitness and underwear model. "I just want people from nearby and far away to be inspired to try harder and never give up on themselves" Alex said in a recent interview. "I didn't set out to be an underwear model. I was just taking care of myself and working out. It just so happens that I look good in underwear. "
So you see, it is not over until it is over!
