DENVER - In a place where crowds are a given and homecomings happen every day, a couple of hundred people, most perfect strangers, gathered to surprise one man in a way that doesn't happen every day.

Sherra Basham has never met Lance Corporal John Thomas Doody or his family. She heard about him coming home and decided people needed to show up to honor the 26-year-old Marine.

"I'm here to show a Marine how much America cares for his sacrifice and everything he's done for us," Basham said. "For me it's every American in these United States taking a moment to say thank you Lance Corporal Doody."

Basham got about 75 of her friends to come celebrate the Marine's return.

J.T. as most people call him, was shot three times in the leg in Iraq in March 2007.

Then, the infection he got paralyzed him and put him in a coma. Wednesday, he arrived back in Denver, alive and able to talk, a miracle the way his family sees it.
