MIRACLE ON THE MOUNTAIN

MIRACLE ON THE MOUNTAIN - Surrounded by his family at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Mike still couldn't wear shoes after doctors had operated on his frostbitten feet. The family shared a laugh, recalling how Turkish tabloids claimed Mike was an American spy who took pills to sustain himself and used his son, Matt (center), as a cover up. In another instance, a prank caller claiming to be with freedom fighters said he had kidnapped the pair: "You know things are bad when you would actually be relieved to find out your husband and son are in the hands of terrorists," Mary said. "Because at least then you'd know they were alive." (Photo by Rose Reynolds)
