Reminder of Marine Kyle Carpenter...what he's doing now...



From the IJReview...

"In 2010, then 21-year-old Lance Cpl. William Kyle Carpenter deliberately threw himself onto a grenade in Afghanistan to save his friend Lance Cpl. Nicholas Eufrazio.


Carpenter’s right arm was broken in 30 places and he suffered
extensive shrapnel injuries to his face and body — including the loss of
his right eye.


His friend Nicholas was also severely wounded and is still recovering in a military hospital in Massachusetts.


But Nicholas is alive. Alive because of his heroic friend, who took the full force of the grenade on his torso and face.


The medically-retired Marine will receive the nation’s highest military honor — the Medal of Honor — in a White House presentation later this year.


As for William Kyle Carpenter, he has something special for those who follow Operation Kyle: a demonstration that he’s still got the guts and determination to knock out some pull-ups at the gym. That’s truly awesome. "
