Rep. Tim Burchett, while recognizing the sacrifices made by America's veterans, Sunday on Newsmax recalled helping a veteran in return by performing the Heimlich maneuver during a Veterans Day dinner, and called on Americans to honor veterans every day, not just one day a year in November.
The event happened at a 2021 dinner in Knox County, Tennessee, and at the time, the U.S. Army veteran, Bobby Barnes, told local ABC affiliate WATE that he believes Burchett saved his life. "Having somebody 101 years old, that guy was just as spry as anything," said Burchett. "He was cutting up. They said somebody called him the other day and he was working on his log splitter, putting a new motor in. East Tennessee, we love our veterans. I was just pleased that I was asked to join them."
