Tiger Woods is home and out of the hospital, three weeks after he was involved in a single-car crash in Los Angeles, he announced on Tuesday. The golf legend said that he is continuing his recovery after he sustained serious injuries to his legs.
"I am so grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement that I have received over the past few weeks," Woods said in a statement. "I will be recovering at home and working on getting stronger every day." Woods, 45, had been injured on the morning of February 24 when his SUV flipped multiple times in Los Angeles. First responders had to use tools to pry Woods out of the wreckage, and he received emergency surgery to address "significant orthopedic injuries," according to Dr. Anish Mahajan, the hospital's chief medical officer and interim CEO.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
