The Marine who suffered a gunshot wound to the leg during last summer’s terror attack on military installments in Tennessee -- including his recruitment center -- said he was humbled to be awarded a Purple Heart Tuesday, but deflected questions about the military's policy of recruiters being unarmed at these facilities.

He said he is honored to receive the award, but he does not “want to take away from the fallen five.”
