Rep. Coffman pays tribute to USMC Cpl. Larry Harris, Jr. on the House floor on July 21, 2010. On July 1, 2010, while on patrol in Helmand Province Afghanistan, another Marine was shot in the leg. Picking up his fellow wounded Marine to carry him to safety, Corporal Harris tripped an explosive device, absorbing the blast. Though he died in the explosion, his efforts saved the life of the wounded Marine.
God Bless Cpl. Larry Harris Jr.... My thoughts and prayers are with him and family on this day and everyday. Although I didn't know him nor ever fought for our country, I feel like he died for me, to ensure my freedom. He is my hero...
I love Cpl. Larry Harris Jr...
