Army veteran rescues eagle in incredible way

By Around the Web

(KARE) A army veteran of two tours in Afghanistan has again picked up a weapon on behalf of freedom.

On Thursday Jason Galvin took shots from a .22 caliber rifle to free an eagle that had become tangled in a rope, hanging upside down from a tree 75 feet off the ground.

“It was very windy and I was just waiting for the right shot,” said Galvin who spent 90 minutes firing roughly 150 shots while mowing down three branches, and finally the rope, holding up the eagle.
