Soldier gives Purple Heart to seriously injured CBS reporter Kim Dozier
Via the AP:
Kimberly Dozier, the CBS reporter wounded by a car bomb in Iraq, now has a Purple Heart at her bedside in a U.S. military hospital in Germany after a young American soldier gave her his medal, the network said.
Dozier, 39, was seriously injured in a blast Monday while covering a story on Memorial Day in Iraq. Her camera crew, Britons Paul Douglas and James Brolan, were killed in the attack, along with a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi translator.
Dozier, who was flown Tuesday to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, remained in critical but stable condition Friday, CBS said. Her breathing respirator has been removed, and she has been able to talk with family and visiting CBS colleagues, the network said in a statement.
She suffered head and lower body injuries in the blast, and her family told CBS she was going to need rods in her legs.
Doctors were performing “routine” procedures on Friday, CBS said.
On Thursday, CBS said an American soldier who had been awarded the Purple Heart medal for combat injuries made a special visit to the hospital to see Dozier.
“A young American soldier came up to Kimberly’s brother Michael and told him that he had met Kimberly in Iraq two years ago after he had been wounded with shrapnel in his arm,” CBS said without identifying the soldier. “The soldier had his Purple Heart with him, and he told Michael that he’d like Kimberly to have it because, he said, she’s suffered as much as any soldier. That Purple Heart is now beside Kimberly’s bed.”
Will the MSM give this story the attention it deserves? Nope. They’re too busy salivating over the allegations of murder by US Marines in Haditha to care.

As regretable as the injuries that Dozier suffered and the tragic deaths of her camera crew, I wonder why we have had so many stories about the attack on her and in the same period NOT ONE recounting the good things we are doing in Iraq, nor the progress that is ongoing in 90% of the country?
I’m not sorry to say it but the sacrifice of every single one of our soldiers, airmen and Marines means much more to me than Ms. Dozier.
I wonder how this may influence Kimberly’s views…
and if it weren’t for ms dozier, as well as other reporters we would have NO clue what was going on over there to know about our troops successes and tragedies in the trenches! what a rude thing to say!! reporters are over there risking thier lives as much as the soldiers, airmen, and marines to let us know what progresses and backsteps the troops are making. i think that it is absolutely awesome that reporters are sending back stories for the news channels here in the USA. and i think that it is truly commendable that they are risking thier lives as much as soldiers do so we can see what’s going on there. soldiers and reporters are the ones over there making sure that not only are we safe but that we can see what exactly is going on. if not for reporters we would not have known that saddam was found nor that a top al-qaeda head was killed by US troops or even to know about the sacrifices of the soldiers, airmen, and Marines have made for our country. reporters made sure that we had footage of 9/11 as well as the aftermath. disturbing as the scenes were, reporters risked their lives again to show us the destruction and collapse of the towers in NYC as well as the scenes at the Pentagon. reporters are just as viable and important as our armed forces. while we are all entitled to our opinion, that was rude and uncalled for to say that.
jules,
Reporters should only be observers, not cheerleaders for the opposition. How many “stringers” hired by the MSM are really insurgents getting out their propaganda and setting up our troops for ambushes and IEDs?
BlogmeisterUSA has a post of a letter a soldier sent to the Ridgefield, CT, paper tearing them a new one for not reporting the news fairly, truthfully, and totally ignoring the soldiers’ successes there.
jules, I ask you, the MSM keeps a running count of casualties of US forces. Where is the running count of Al Qaeda, terrorist, and insurgent losses?
Also, the MSM is a willing tool of the Islamofascists in the propaganda war.
