    Dare you to not tear up: Vet leaves Purple Heart with Giffords

    From my sit-down today with Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in an assassination attempt that killed six and left a dozen others wounded:

    An anonymous veteran left his Purple Heart for Gabby at the hospital the Saturday she was shot. Her family has kept it by her bedside.

    Giffords' husband predicts 'full recovery,' return to shooting site

    Deeply moving.
    I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.

    Isn't her husband an astronaut? Talk about a brave soul, seems they both are.
    Alot of people are praying for her and the power of prayer is awesome.
    The purple heart was a cool thing to do. Powerful Karma I am sure he wanted to pass around for good things.
