This young soldier always wanted to walk down the aisle with his bride but after their civil ceremony when he was home on leave, he had to return to Iraq where an IED took both legs. You witnessed a hero walking his bride down the aisle and later, he danced the first dance with her. And she is a hero because she spent most of her pregnancy and every day of the first year of their son’s life in the amputee ward at Walter Reed. “Every-day heroes”? Yes,,,like the good people who that day recognized and honored their service, the WWR.
