Military Hero Saves Infant with CPR
One would think that after earning two Purple Hearts for his military service, now NYPD officer wouldn’t be phased by saving a life with CPR. But the officer said, “Nothing that I’ve ever done in my life, in my military career or on this job can compare to what happened to me today.”
The officer was waiting for speeders when he got the emergency call. He found the two-month old unconscious, blue and not breathing.
He calmed himself and began CPR chest compressions on the baby. After only a few seconds, her little fist clenched, her body twitched and she opened her eyes.
The former Ranger said he was nervous, but he just talked himself through.
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
