HOLLYANNE MILLEY, the wife of U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley, came to the rescue during a Veterans Day ceremony, saving the life of a man who had collapsed during the event and stopped breathing recently.

Milley was standing behind her husband at the annual wreath-laying ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery to honor military veterans.

While waiting for U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to arrive, Milley heard a commotion behind her at the somber ceremony.

She turned to see that a man who’s a veteran had collapsed and now lay unconscious on the ground.

That’s when Milley, a nurse for 33 years, sprang into action.

“I immediately ran to see if I could help. There were just a few people around him. He was not responsive and couldn’t speak, and he had very labored breathing that was not actually moving air into his lungs,” Milley said in an account of the incident provided to CNN.

She directed someone to call 911 and checked on the man again, only to find he was no longer breathing and she couldn’t feel his pulse.

Milley then performed two cycles of CPR of just chest compressions — saving the veteran’s life.(SD-Agencies)
