Two wounded veterans embodied the fighting spirit of Patriots' Day by finishing the Boston Marathon on Monday.
As captured above by ABC News, former Army Staff Sgt. Earl Granville carried a woman across the Boston Marathon's finish line.
According to WNEP.com's Bill Michlowski, Granville lost his leg during his third deployment in Afghanistan in 2008. He not only ran the marathon with his prosthetic leg but also assisted a fellow participant while brandishing an American flag.

Not only running a marathon, but carrying a flag the whole way. And not only running a marathon and carrying a flag, but carrying a fellow runner across the finish line.
Salute to them both.
