In late September 2008, while embedded with US Marines and Afghan Paramilitary Units, Keith Lepor was shot by a sniper. This is the helmet camera footage showing the attack, and the marine that saved his life that day. Support the men and women who continue to fight for freedom and democracy throughout the world. Keith was hit by a sniper round in his chest armor, a few inches above his heart. The US Marine who saved his life heard the shot and called for Afghan forces to launch an RPG attack. He then noticed Keith on the ground, and pulled him to safety. Keith indicated that he was not shot, but later it was determined that the bullet hit him just above his name plate, square in the chest. This is the moment that changed his life. Seeing first hand what the men and women of the armed forces do every day to preserve our freedom convinced Keith to honor them by running for congress in his home district (9th Congressional District, Massachusetts). I have met Keith, and I support his campaign for Congress. This was not a political trip. He put himself in the middle of everything to show what these soldiers deal with every day. Support his campaign here: www.keithlepor2010.com Thank you to all men and women of the US Armed Forces!
