They have been up performing surgery since 2 o'clock in the morning. I mentioned that Dr. Mike Yaszmenski from Mayo Clinic, he did not take the credit for it, but the story that we were all standing there when they pinned the Purple Heart on that young man. He had had several broken vertebrae, which is the reason he could not get out of his HUMVEE, and could not walk. At the end of his little presentation, he told the whole story, he sort of smiled. He said, I can wiggle my toes. Now, Dr. Yaszmenski did not take credit for this. I am piecing this together. Because he is a spinal surgeon my sense is that he had something to do with it.
