Last week, Captain Jay Bush, the son of Senator Debbie Halvorson and husband Jim Bush was severly injured in Afghanistan. Captain Bush serves in the US Army's Special Forces.
Jay was leading his Special Forces Unit on a night mission when he fell more than 20 feet severely injuring his back and neck.
He was transferred for care to Germany. Over the weekend, he was flown to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to undergo treatment. His family has flown to Walter Reed to be with him. I wish Jay a speedy recovery!
As a side note...Senator Halvorson has been passionate while campaigning for Congress on the need for better care and services for our veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
