English: Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Vern Clark presents the Purple Heart to retired Navy Lt. Kevin Shaeffer who sustained serious life threatening injuries, when the Navy Command Center where he worked, exploded into a ball of fire and collapsed ceiling, after terrorists flew a hijacked airliner into the southwestern wedge of the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. During the ceremony Adm. Clark summed it up this way, "We talk about sacrifice in our profession. We have a medal like the Purple Heart to recognize individuals who have suffered greatly, and Kevin Shaeffer is such a person. Kevin Shaeffer will never forget 9/11. He was burned over 40 percent of his body. He will undergo dozens of surgeries before this is all over. Kevin, I want you to know that we are inspired by your example."
