"Jesse, 28, lost both of his legs in Afghanistan in 2009 after stepping on an IED, which was all caught on video by a fellow marine wearing a helmet camera."
The footage was even used in a documentary about Jesse called "Coming Home."
"If I hadn't stepped on that IED I wouldn't have met her," Jesse told ABC News. "I wouldn't take it back ever."

Wow...Jesse surely has a drawer full of medals already but IMO his wife deserves medals herself.Thanks for reawakening my hope for our younger generation.
To: BubbaBasher
Even with no legs, that is one lucky guy to have such a woman.
