President Obama sets up special afternoon for Boston bombing survivor

For Boston Marathon bombing survivor Karen Rand, Saturday's experience at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago was one she will absolutely never forget. Prior to the Chicago White Sox game against the Oakland Athletics, Rand, who had her left leg amputated below the knee following the horrific attack on April 15, was given the honor of throwing out the game's ceremonial first pitch.

It was a very cool scene and an even better feeling to be sure, but it's how Rand received the opportunity that makes her experience even more remarkable and memorable.

While recovering from her injuries just days after the attack, Rand was one of the many patients who received a visit from President Barack Obama. During their relatively brief exchange, Rand's boyfriend, Kevin McWatters, mentioned their planned trip to Chicago. The President then wished her well in her recovery and added to make sure they had a nice trip. He then took at least one incredible step to make sure that happened by contacting the White Sox organization and asking them to invite Rand down to the ballpark.

one has to be the victim of a bombing before something like this happens.

there are so many homeless adults and children in america...can Obama set up something special for them?
