The Indiana Republican Party recently hosted three American heroes, who are currently serving in the U.S. Congress. Indiana Congressman Jim Baird (second from left) lost his left arm in the Vietnam War, Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw (right) lost an eye as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan, and Florida Congressman Brian Mast (left) lost both his legs and a finger in an explosion, also in Afghanistan. There are three Purple Hearts and four Bronze Stars earned between them. The three Congressmen are pictured here with Indiana State Senator Victoria Spartz and were brought to national attention for their picture, titled, “5 eyes. 5 arms. 4 legs. All American.”
