(Local Paper) Marine overcomes combat injuries, health issues to be a dad

Posted on December 15, 2014 by Kendall Harmon

It was the end of his sixth deployment, with barely a month left, the last mission at hand. And nothing was going right.

The best man in his wedding, a man he’d served with since entering the Marines, was hit by an explosive device, burning the man’s entire body and claiming three of his limbs.

Then, a helicopter crash killed two American servicemen and several Afghan forces.

Last came the ambush.

    I am glad to read that this hero’s service to his country as a soldier and as an adoptive father to two foster care children is being recognised and rewarded. When we read that Congress participated in a “special” session of working on a Saturday, let us all remember that our military are on call 24 x 7 for our benefit and our freedom.
