Dark Horse Marine's wife in coma after losing all limbs

Marine With Brain-Dead Quadruple Amputee Wife Upset Over ‘My Girl’s A Vegetable’ Cadence

Camp Pendleton, CA – Troops running and singing cadence is a familiar scene at bases across the world, but one Marine says the cadence really needs to end.

Corporal Jason Andreesen is assigned to the famed ‘Dark Horse’ battalion — 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines.

“Every morning I have to wake up, put on my silkies and glowbelt and think ‘Well, here we go again’,” says Andreesen.

His reluctance for physical training (PT) comes not from exertion, but from the cadences that his squad mates usually choose. One in particular is referred to as the “Vegetable Cadence.”

“I mean, I thought it was kind of funny back when I first heard it,” says Andreesen, “but that was before I met Sarah. She’s my dream girl.”

Sarah is Andreesen’s wife of three years — who miraculously survived a car crash last year despite losing all her arms and legs and putting her into a coma.
