A wounded Army veteran carried his race partner across the finish line at the Boston Marathon on Wednesday while she held an American flag. Earl Granville, a 9-year-veteran of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, lost his leg when a roadside bomb hit his vehicle in Afghanistan, WCVB reported.After his injury, he competed in multiple marathons including Boston, New York, Chicago and Detroit all using a hand-bike. However, on Monday, he walked. In a moving finish, Granville picked up his race partner and guide and carried her over the finish line over his shoulders. It's unclear if she was injured. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/04/18/wounded-vet-running-boston-marathon-carries-race-partner-across-finish-line.html
