The accompanying article title is more accurate, Florida Wounded Warrior gets surprise visit from Tim Tebow.
Excerpt:
When Tebow read about what Camargo had endured, getting shot in the neck and being left quadriplegic during a combat mission in Afghanistan, he wanted to meet the wounded soldier.
"He's a real, true-life hero," said Tebow. "So it's very special to have the chance to hang out with him...He's been an inspiration to a lot of people and he'll continue to be an inspiration to me and so many more, so it's real exciting to get a chance to meet him."
Tebow called Camargo a true American hero.
"For me, it's so humbling, to see kids and they're like, you're my hero. I do nothing special, athletes do nothing special. We play a silly game," Tebow said. "But here's someone who put his life on the line for our country -- that's a real hero."
Hat Tip: Fox News Channel
P.S. I can already imagine the commentators on Sports Center (a.k.a. the Tebow haters) going apoplectic over Tebow's statement, "we play a silly game" instead of focusing on what really matters about this meeting.
