Good Samaritan Helps Wounded Soldier

A roadside bombing in Afghanistan last month left Specialist Devon Pitz with serious injuries. His stepmother Vikki, who recently visited him at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C., says he is making progress.

"He had made four steps while I was there," said Vikki Pitz. "They've got him a special wheel-chair and use the little remote and he can wheel himself around."

To help keep his spirits up, family members have been taking turns staying with the young soldier at the hospital. After his stepmother's last trip to D.C., she returned home to Lawrence County to find a heart-felt card from a stranger.

"I've never met the woman, I just know that she saw the ad in the paper where they we're talking about him and her son was in combat. Also, she said the story touched her and she wanted to do what she could the help my family," said Pitz.
