Jane says no matter what caused the injuries her son, a decorated Iraq War veteran did not deserve to be left for dead.

OAKDALE, Minn. (KMSP) - A veteran from Hudson, Wis. is recovering at Regions Hospital after police found him outside a bar in Oakdale, Minn. on Oct. 16 with a broken collar bone, a fracture to the back of his head and brain damage.

Oakdale police say he called around 11 p.m. to report he had been assaulted and had his cell phone stolen.

Brian, whose last name has not been released due to safety concerns, was staying at a Best Western in Oakdale because he is trying to sell his house and had to get out of the way for several showings over the weekend, according to his mom, Jane.

Police found the 31-year-old laying in the parking lot between the Demori’s Italian Restaurant and the hotel. read more here
