A Pennsylvania National Guard soldier is sharing her incredible story of giving this Veterans Day. She says her journey began when she returned from her first deployment to Iraq.
"It seemed to be Vietnam veterans really welcomed us home with open arms," she said. "I had a couple of them tell me they're doing this because when they came home, they weren't welcomed home in the same way and they wanted to make sure that never happens to another soldier again. That really touched me. That really meant something to me. It wasn't just one man that did this."
We're not identifying the 36-year-old by name because she doesn't want thanks or accolades for what she's giving: a massive portion of liver to a dying Vietnam veteran three states away.
