April 23, 2017Rumor Has It Another Supreme Court Vacancy Could Come As Early As This Summer
April 23, 2017This is sweet.
On Saturday, President Trump, along with FLOTUS, visited the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland to award Sergeant 1st Class Alvaro Barrientos with a purple heart. He was wounded in Afghanistan March 17, after an Afghan soldier opened fire “inside a base in the Helmand province.” His right leg– below the knee– had to be amputated.
Trump was so moved by his story, he insisted on awarding Barrientos himself. It’s a very moving thing to watch.
God bless you Barrientos, and thank you for your service.
