The Des Moines Register reports that Taylor Morris, 23, of Cedar Falls and his girlfriend plan to attend dinner at the White House and watch fireworks Wednesday.
Morris was hurt May 3 in Afghanistan while working as a bomb disposal technician. Morris lost his left arm at the elbow, his right arm at the wrist, his left leg at mid-thigh and his right leg at the knee.
Obama visited Morris on Thursday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He spent about five minutes in Morris’ room.
The White House says the president met with 52 wounded troops and awarded one Purple Heart.
