For Kaag, his Marine journey was all in the family.
"My dad, my grandfather, my uncle, then my brother after me were all Marines, so it was something that I always wanted to do since I was 8-years-old," Kaag said.
That dream was cut short when he became confined to a wheelchair, but Kaag didn't let that stop him.
He found another way to serve: by training others to overcome their challenges through physical fitness.
"I want people to focus on the people around them. That's the thing that saved me. I don't have time to worry about my challenges; I wanna get out there and help as many people as I can," he said.
Now, with his new gift, he will be able to continue serving in new ways and explore new territories with his new all terrain wheelchair.
In his new wheelchair, Kaag will be able to "get out there" even more.
"The places you can go are unmatched, so I'm really looking forward to getting my son out there and doing some things with my wife."
Kaag says he is looking forward to hitting some trails and blazing the national parks.
"It's something that can provide me access to woods and all kinds of places that you can you really can't do in a regular wheelchair," he added.
