Thanks SSgt Robert Root for sharing the uplifting news that retired U.S. Marine Jose Luis Sanchez completed the Boston marathon with one real and one prosthetic leg while carrying the National Colors of the USA. His time of 05:46:13 shows both endurance and courage.
Kudos to Luis Sanchez and everybody else who participated in the race or cheered on their racers.

I can imagine his pain must have been tremendous and to have carried the flag the entire run is exemplary.
