    President Bush is seen awarding the Purple Heart to Lance Corporal Kiksyur Azzis, who lost his fingers while defending an Iraqi child from an insurgent mob. President Bush returned the Lance Corparals fingerless handshake in an attempt to show the same respect to his Purple Heart that he did to John Kerry’s three, by falling off his bike and getting a few scratches.
