A wounded Army veteran carried his race partner across the finish line at the Boston Marathon on Wednesday while she held an American flag.

Earl Granville, a 9-year-veteran of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, lost his leg when a roadside bomb hit his vehicle in Afghanistan, WCVB reported.

After his injury, he competed in multiple marathons including Boston, New York, Chicago and Detroit all using a hand-bike.

However, on Monday, he walked.

In a moving finish, Granville picked up his race partner and guide and carried her over the finish line over his shoulders. It's unclear if she was injured.
