Army Ranger believed to be unconscious salutes during Purple Heart ceremony
Army Ranger Josh Hargis was unconscious, hooked to a breathing tube at a military hospital in Afghanistan after losing both his legs in battle last week.

 

But when the Purple Heart ceremony began at Hargis’ bedside, it turned out he was not unconscious, as doctors believed. Instead, he struggled with an attending doctor to raise his heavily bandaged hand to salute a commanding officer presenting him with the medal.

I haven't watched the video, and barely skimmed the story.

 

I know how much I can take at one time, and I fear this would be more than I could witness at the moment, or in most instances. I hope to wait for a nice peaceful quiet time alone.

 

Took a trip to Arlington Cemetery a few days back, it had been awhile. To me it is the most special place on earth.
