In a stirring moment, Capt. Luis Avila, who was seriously injured by an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2011, sings a moving rendition of 'God Bless America' during ceremony with Pres. Trump. Avila uses music therapy as part of his healing regimen.
President Donald Trump welcomed his new top military adviser during a rainy ceremony in Virginia on Monday, but the event may be most remembered for a touching moment the president and his national security team shared with a disabled Army captain.
The president and his team then joined the captain in his performance before embracing and shaking hands with him and his caregiver. The study concluded that"in collaboration with other treatment disciplines, music therapy contributed to improvements in range of motion, functional use of bilateral upper extremities, strength endurance, breath support, articulation, task-attention, compensatory strategies, social integration, quality of life, and overall motivation in [Avila's] recovery process."
Avila gifted the president, vice president, defense secretary and chairman what appeared to be his own"challenge coin" -- small medallions normally awarded by military commanders.
