Can you help find origin of pic of Obamas and Veteran?

I saw this picture this morning and the title went with it was "assisting the wounded". This picture touched me so much, supposedly it's of a Veteran but I can't find a source to confirm. Has anyone seen it before or know of it?




While googling for info I found this equally beautiful picture of Michelle Obama and a Veteran on a "Republicans for Obama" web page!!






And now I'm verklempt, I read through this page of pictures from a D-Day observance in France, the pictures and comments are beautiful. Work your way down to the picture of Obama saying 'hey' to the Veterans seated behind him.

I really need to see this foursome get re-elected, they have an interest in the Service members and Veterans of the US that I haven't seen in a long while. (One of the pictures is of President Obama's great-Uncle who is a WWII Veteran, I didn't know that!)

And the first lady as well.

It's nice to have a president that actually supports our troops and not just the military.

It looks like they are consoling the person they're touching. Or maybe even praying over him. The person who put it on Facebook says it's a Veteran and I'd just like to know the story of what was going on there. Their concern and what looks like true caring was really touching to me.

I'm talking about this one, I probably shouldn't have put the others but found them while doing my search for this one:

This President and his wife are so compassionate, I imagine that they take in moments like this together and it helps him in his day to day. So thankful that they are a team in this way.
