Ultimele secunde ale veteranului care si-a sacrificat viata pentru un ultim gest eroic. Familia a filmat intreg momentul
Ultimele momente din viata unui soldat care a suferit un accident vascular cu doar cateva zile inainte de Craciun au inspirat milioane de oameni din intreaga lume.
Sergentul Matthew Whalen, un veteran din Texas care a luptat pe front de patru ori, a facut un atac cerebral si a ajuns pe patul de spital, tinut in viata doar de aparate, scrie ABC News.
Dupa ce medicii au informat familia ca nu exista sanse ca barbatul in varsta de doar 35 de ani sa-si mai revina, apropiatii au decis sa-l deconecteze de la aparate. Au decis insa sa-l onoreze pe barbatul care a luptat sa-si apere tara in cel mai frumos mod: i-au donat organele, astfel ca Matthew a putut salva vieti chiar si dupa ce a murit.
Sotia barbatului a aflat, cateva zile mai tarziu, ca organele lui Matthew au ajuns la alti doi veterani de razboi. "Nu am cuvinte", a scris tanara pe Facebook.
Iar intr-un cont deschis pe numele familiei, sute de oameni au donat, impresionati de povestea celor doi soti despartiti mult prea devreme de soarta.
We say farewell to Staff Sergeant Matthew James Whalen. In his final act on this Earth, it's only fitting that he gave his life and in return saved two others. And it's almost as if it were meant to be that the two donor recipients happened to be veterans. There is no SOP or protocol for this type of ceremony, but with the help of Matt's wife Hannah, all of his family, the nursing staff, and an Honor Guard we were able to show our love and appreciation in the best way we could. All of you out there scattered throughout our country this close to Christmas can rest assured tonight. Your prayers and kind words these last couple days have carried the Whalen family and the support was truly felt.Hannah wanted this to be posted to Facebook for everyone to see and be part of.Thank you all once again. Funeral arrangements will be pushed out by Hannah at a more appropriate time. Harlow Danger, Matt Whalen, Rafael Machuca, Matt N Stacey Lussi, Felix Garcia, Andrew Lee, Terry Goble, Krystle N Justin Barnes.
