Washington, D.C. - One of the soldiers wounded during the attack that killed Seargent Ryan Adams gets a special visit from a U.S. Congressman.

Congressman Steve Kagen met with 45-year-old Platoon Sergeant Lyle Spurgeon of Phelps, at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C. last night.

The Congressman says Spurgeon is healing rapidly and looks forward to joining his fellow soldiers as soon as possible. Spurgeon is one of 100 soldiers from the 951st Sapper Company deployed to Afghanistan.

He's a combat engineer with the 951st and was injured last Friday.

Spurgeon was flown from a hospital in Germany to Walter Reed on Monday night.

The Company conducts route clearance operations for the Army's 101st Airborne Division.
