At least that's what Kyle Carpenter says. For Kyle, those five seconds happened on a rooftop in Helmand Province, Afghanistan when he jumped on a grenade to save himself and fellow Marine Nick Eufrazio. Now, after three flatlines, three years at Walter Reed hospital, dozens of surgeries, and a Medal of Honor award in 2014, Kyle's here to talk about it.
