Without hesitation, Kyle chose a path of selfless heroism that few can imagine. He jumped on the grenade, saving Nick but sacrificing his own body.  \nKyle Carpenter’s heart flatlined three times while being evacuated off the battlefield in Afghanistan. Yet his spirit was unbroken. Severely wounded from head to toe, Kyle lost his right eye as well as most of his jaw. It would take dozens of surgeries and almost three years in and out of the hospital  to reconstruct his body. From there, he began the process of rebuilding his life. What he has accomplished in the last nine years is extraordinary: he’s come back a stronger, better, wiser person.\nIn 2014, Kyle was awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his “singular act of courage” on that rooftop in Afghanistan, an action which had been reviewed exhaustively by the military. Kyle became the youngest living recipient of the award–and only the second living Marine so honored since Vietnam.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42913285636180,"sku":"TBD-FBM-9780062898531","price":13.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1479\/9188\/files\/813mbUNpW6L._SY522.jpg?v=1770481198","url":"https:\/\/wesavebooks.com\/products\/you-are-worth-it-building-a-life-worth-fighting-for-0062898531","provider":"We Save Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
