Daughter Takes Blind Veteran Dad On Rollercoaster

A blind military veteran who lost his sight during service laughed with delight as he was finally able to ride a rollercoaster once more. In the uplifting video, Ronald Goyette's daughter, Jackie Neuser, 42, can be seen describing every twist and turn to her father as the pair made their way around the track. Ronald, 72, from Wisconsin, has always been a fan of rollercoasters and over the years he has done everything he can not to let his disability define him. Ronald previously served in the Marine Corp., having not been drafted but signing up to serve his country, along with his twin brother. As a result, Ronald was part of the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam, where he was wounded and became blind from injuries sustained to his eyes.
