Naval Medical Center San Diego Fisher House Photo by Lisa Loggains, Kody’s Mother When Kody Frazier and fellow Marines went out for drinks, they did the responsible thing and got a car service to drive them home. On the way, a drunk driver hit their car, and Kody took the impact of the accident. After being extubated in the ICU at 3 a.m., Kody’s first words were, "Where's Memaw?” Grandma, Carolyn Winn, was at the Fisher House and rushed up to the hospital to see Kody, when this moment was captured.
