Ya, that was the one they tricked us into watching after the Super Bowl with their whole "we have a code black" speak.

This happened in Vietnam, although there I think it was a 2.75 rocket. Some seriously scary stuff if you're anybody near the guy.

Pretty awesome. Makes you appreciate the whole team.

The video never did reveal the extent of the injured soldiers disability after the fact.

I hope he is better today, it looked like a horrific injury.

It shows him walking with a cane at the end of the video, lifting up his son (while standing) so, he's got some mobility.
