Just to add to what you said, the school he attended (Cooley Law School) is a private, not-for-profit. I think that point has relevance as many seem to think not-for-profit somehow means "affordably priced" or "low cost".
Here's what the article says about his service and the injuries he suffered:
"Milzarski said he led 24 soldiers on 244 combat missions and 43 engagements with the enemy. Five soldiers were killed and one seriously injured. He was awarded a Purple Heart for a ricocheted bullet that hit him in the face during combat in Afghanistan. Among his 18 awards is a Meritorious Service medal."
