A photo of a U.S. Marine's wife carrying her wounded warrior husband has gone viral. When Jesse and Kelly Cottle went to the beach, the family photographer snapped this one after Jesse removed both prosthetics and Kelly carried him down to the water.

Jesse, a double amputee, then took off his prosthetic legs and hopped on Kelly's back so she could carry him in.
