Among the 23 guests of First Lady Michelle Obama and "Second Lady" Jill Biden are two "hero-survivors" (BOSTON STRONG) from Boston Marathon Bombings 2013

from a list of Obama - Biden administration publicity descriptive paragraphs (www.obamafoodorama.blogspot.com/): Carlos Arredondo and Jeff Bauman (Boston, MA) Survivors of the Boston Marathon Bombing Carlos Arredondo and Jeff Bauman are forever linked due to the attacks on the 117th Boston Marathon. In what has become an iconic image from the day in April of 2013, Carlos – wearing his white Cowboy hat – was captured rushing a badly injured Jeff away from the bombing to safety, thereby becoming two of the faces of ‘Boston Strong.’ From his intensive care hospital bed, Jeff played a vital role in identifying the bombers. After losing both legs in the attack, he is battling back, describing himself as a quick healer and stronger now than he was before the attack. Jeff, 27, and Carlos, 53 and a Gold Star Father, have become close friends.
