Several spoke about Dr. Salia. We even heard a letter written by President Obama himself, labeling the Maryland man a hero.
Side by side, carrying the ashes of a husband, father and surgeon, the family of Dr. Martin Salia remembers the man who helped shape their lives.
"He's the man who give up his life to help other people," said Abu Kargbl, Dr.
Salia' brother-in-law.
On November 15, Dr. Salia was flown to a Nebraska hospital after contracting the deadly virus in Sierra Leone--an Ebola hotbed in West Africa.
"He said, 'My people need me and I need to go back there and help my people,'" Kargbl said.
Dr.
Salia died just 36 hours later af
