Wounded, bandaged and hooked up to tubes in an Afghanistan intensive care unit, a U.S. Army Ranger, thought by hospital staff to be unconscious, heard his commander’s voice and addressed him with the iconic symbol of respect: a salute.
Josh Hargis, a Purple Heart recipient
with the 3rd Ranger Battalion, was injured after 13 improvised explosive
devices went off while he was conducting a mission in Afghanistan to
capture a high value target, according to the website Guardian of Valor.
Several members of the unit were killed by a woman wearing a suicide
vest and others injured by the IEDs that went off afterward.
Hargis’
commander sent his wife, Taylor, a letter explaining what her husband
endured along with a photo, which the Guardian of Valor is calling the
“salute seen around the world.”
Thank you for your service Josh. We salute you! You are the heart of American Pride!
