Positivity: Soldier with Heart of Gold Gives Purple Heart to Seriously Injured Newswoman
I’m overwhelmed by the following item relayed by Newsbusters’ Brett Baker, who saw Shelia MacVicar report the following on the CBS Evening News Thursday:
“Something happened that surprised and moved all of us this afternoon. A young American soldier came up to Kimberly’s brother, Michael, and told him that he’d met Kimberly in Iraq two years ago after he’d been wounded with shrapnel in his arm. The soldier had his Purple Heart with him, and he told Michael that he’d now like Kimberly to have it because, he said, she suffered as much as any soldiers. That Purple Heart is now beside Kimberly’s bed.â€
This is also reported in a longer story about Dozier’s condition at the CBS web site.
Dozier is in critical but stable condition in Germany as a result of an IED attack that killed two of her CBS colleagues earlier this week. All the prayers in the world for her speedy recovery, and for the soldier with the heart of gold.
