Cpl. Nicholas DeSantis-Austin was providing security on a rooftop in Sangin, Afghanistan, in August 2018 when he was shot in the head by a sniper.

DeSantis-Austin would survive the ordeal and was later awarded the Purple Heart in September 2018.

This June, the Kevlar helmet that saved his life was returned to him in a ceremony held at Fort Benning, Georgia.
