No one could ever doubt the bravery of Army Spc. Tyler Jeffries. Back in 2012 he nearly paid the ultimate price for our nation when an improvised explosive device injured him so badly that he needed to have both of his legs amputated.
After months of rehabilitation, Jeffries finally began to walk on his two new prosthetic legs, and while things were certainly difficult at first, he eventually became better and better at it. This brave soldier had gone through a horrible injury, and yet he managed to persevere and become a better man from it.
But in spite of his bravery, the one thing that he really seemed a bit nervous at doing was asking his girlfriend, Lauren, the most important question of his life. Luckily, it helps to have two former Presidents of the United States in your corner of the ring for support!
As the years passed by, Jeffries and his girlfriend Lauren grew closer and closer. So it seemed fitting that at an event honoring wounded warriors at the Bush family home, Jeffries asked for some help to be put on his knees.
From that vantage point he asked Lauren the big question, and with two presidents behind her, she couldn't say "no!"
President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara offered their special congratulations, and wished the young couple a "lifetime of joy together."
What a wonderful way to start their marriage!
