TUCSON, Ariz. -- Inspired by the heroic actions that saved lives during January's deadly Safeway shooting spree, the Red Cross is teaching valuable life-saving skills.

Volunteers on Capitol Hill Wednesday teaching Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords colleagues and staff hands-only CPR and basic first aid.

The training comes ahead of this weekend's "Save-a-Life Saturday," intended to honor Congresswoman Giffords. Wednesday, a military man from Sierra Vista gave up something near and dear to his heart so the congresswoman knows how much he hopes she makes a complete recovery.

Al Lee had two hearts. Wednesday he gave one away.

"I'd like to present this to you for Congresswoman Giffords. It is the coin that is given to injured service members who are injured in combat and awarded the Purple Heart Medal," said Lee.
Al Lee was awarded the purple heart in 2003 after he was injured in Iraq while in the army.
