Obama Surprises Wounded Warrior Being Presented with a New Home

Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg attended the 2014 State of the Union address

[clip starts]
BROWN (voice-over): "When most people move into a new home, they don't get a welcome like this." 
NN MALE: "One, two, three -- got it." 
BROWN (voice-over): "Or a guest like this." 
OBAMA: "This is a pretty nice house you've got here." 
BROWN (voice-over): "But then most people aren't as remarkable as Sgt. First Class Cory Remsburg." 
OBAMA: "I didn't bring my swim shorts, though. That's the only problem now that I look at this pool."
BROWN (voice-over): "President Obama visited Remsburg's new home just outside of Phoenix on Friday. The first time the two have reunited since last year's State of the Union Address." 
OBAMA: "Sgt. First Class Cory Remsburg never gives up and he does not quit."
BROWN (voice-over): "Remsburg first met the president before he was injured at a D-day re-enactment in Normandy in June 2009. Later that year, he was struck by an IED in Afghanistan. He remains partially paralyzed on his left side and blind in his right eye. He later met the president again, this time at his bedside at Walter Reed Hospital."
BROWN (on camera): "What's it like to be admired by so many people?"
REMSBURG: "[indecipherable] good to know that the face (ph) of those [indecipherable] warriors brought together a divided Congress."
NN MALE: "You are the most remarkable young man. You have inspired an entire nation with your charisma --" 
REMSBURG: "Oh, stop." 
BROWN: "Remsburg's new home is the work of countless volunteers and charities, and is specially equipped with railings and ramps to help him regain his independence." 
CRAIG REMSBURG: "We built in safety features in this house. There's a lot of things that maybe mom and dad can take a step back." 
BROWN (voice-over): "As for how Remsburg feels?" 
REMSBURG: "Appreciative and I'm very grateful. I cannot say thank you enough."
