When my wife served in the Navy Nurse Corps, these were the sorts of men and women she worked with. She generally doesn’t talk much about her time serving, but this video, shared by a friend of hers on deployment overseas now, moved her to recall some of her memories. An inspiring watch if you can spare two minutes.

It’s a good bet that if we asked him, Cpl. Hargis would point to other soldiers from his squad and say they were the heroes. Maximum respect for Cpl. Joshua Hargis. And all his colleagues. That purple-and-gold emblem of our first commander-in-chief is a great honor. And it is a fine thing, right and proper, that we honor a man such as Cpl. Hargis thus. An even better thing would have been peace, that he need never have had occasion to have given that brave and painful salute, and his lovely young wife need never have feared that her handsome and courageous husband was going to come home at all.Report

Cpl. Hargis was injured in a suicide bombing while serving overseas. When he was visited in the hospital to be awarded a Purple Heart, it was presumed he was unconscious. However, upon realizing what was going on around him, he defied doctor’s orders and worked his arm around the various tubes and monitors to offer a salute, observing proper military protocol. A picture was snapped and has gone viral.
