Marine Corps Sgt. Luis Remache, right, offers words of encouragement to Boston Marathon bombing victim J.P. Norden during Norden's visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., June 12, 2013. Norden and his brother, Paul, each lost a leg and were burned and pelted with shrapnel while shielding other spectators following the first bomb explosion during the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings. Remache was three months into his third deployment when he lost both of his legs and suffered elbow, stomach, and hand damage in a firefight in Sangin, Afghanistan on June 29, 2011. While on an overnight mission, a grenade blast and small-arms fire caused the amputations of both of Remache's legs above the knees, severe stomach lacerations, and severe injuries on his right elbow and both hands.
