When a bystander collapsed at the Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery Wednesday, a nurse was nearby and rushed to his aid. She happened to be the wife of the nations top military officer, Gen. Mark Milley.
Hollyanne Milley told NBC News that just before President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and their spouses arrived at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, she heard a commotion behind her and looked up the stairs toward the museum.
I just saw legs laying there, said Milley, a practicing nurse. ... Milley ran to see if she could help and found the man unresponsive. ... When I first got there, he was breathing in a very erratic way that he wasnt really taking air into his lungs as he should have been, she said. And then he stopped breathing.
The man had no pulse. Milley said she directed someone to call 911 and started chest compressions. I did about two cycles of CPR, and then he just took a big, deep breath and kind of groaned a little bit and then started moving around.

So glad she was able to help him.

The odds of surging a code blue are very, very low. He survived 2 code blues because of the instantaneous assistance from nurses.

But she could have told him to "Be Best"in seven different languages.
