We have a medal like the Purple Heart to recognize individuals who have suffered greatly, and Kevin Schaeffer is such a person. Kevin Schaeffer will never forget 9/11. He was burned over 40 percent of his body. He will undergo dozens of surgeries before this is all over. Kevin, I want you to know that we are inspired by your example," Clark said.
