Viral Photo Sparks Honor, Not Pity Finally
August 28, 2013, in Spouse & Family News, Wounded Spouse by Amy Bushatz

Former Marine Staff Sgt. Jesse Cottle lost his legs in Afghanistan in 2009 when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED). The picture, taken this month at a family photo shoot near Boise, Id., shows Cottle and his wife Kelly just after their one year wedding anniversary as she carries him back to his legs which he had removed for a different part of the shoot.
