A 21-year old U.S Marine corporal was severely injured in an explosion in Afghanistan.

Cpl. Marcus Dandrea had both of his legs amputated at the knee three days ago, after he stepped on an improvised explosive device while on patrol, according to his family.

Mark Dandrea said he learned the extent of his son’s injuries in a predawn telephone call from him Friday, according to an interview with Times-Union news partner First Coast News.
