Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills speaks with J.P. Norden, right, injured by the second bomb blast during the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, during Norden's visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., June 12, 2013. J.P. and his brother, Paul, each lost a leg and were burned and pelted with shrapnel while shielding other spectators following the first bomb explosion. Mills, one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries, offered Norden encouragement for his recovery. Mills was with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan when he was critically injured on April 10, 2012, by an improvised explosive device while on patrol, losing portions of both legs and both arms.
