for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems.

switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com (roars) (screams) ♪ (giggling) ♪ (barks) ♪

line. >> i took the next nine months plus and went from kicking the walker away, dropping the cane, walking and jogging. and then october 2010 i finished that marathon. that was a big deal. >> never quit. an old saying from day one selection. never quit. >> these guys risked their lives. the best thing i can do is get back up on my feet. and that's my thank you back to them. >> reporter: and so on this veterans day, we salute sean and mark. brothers in battle. who like all our veterans have taught us so much about what friendship and courage and resilience really mean. what an incredible story. i met these guys. never forgot the story. happy to be able to do the piece three years later. mark earned a silver star, and sean earned a purple heart and a

bronze star. and shoutout to my friend who sent these guys out for a much-deserved dinner in new york city. >> what a way to honor veterans day. you see the humility. people who have done extraordinary things. >> they don't want the recognition. we honor them and recognize them today and every day. >> yes, that is the truth. makes you realize what they do for us. very humbling. >> thanks for bringing that to us. >> everybody, leave your message of thanks #honoravet. and we're going to show some of those when we get a minute. great to hear your stories. and coming up, taylor swift is here with a big, exclusive announcement. can't wait to hear what she has to say.

we're now an educator, tim shriver grew up a kennedy. harboring a secret about one family member's lifelong challenge with disabilities. now revealing this and a whole lot more in his memoir. it's beautiful. fully alive: discovering what is matters most. i had an opportunity to sit with him. why did you write the book? >> i was surrounded by people in my work and life and family. these people have a real insight into what matters most. >> is that what you mean by fully alive? >> fully alive is here i am, i love who i am, i have a dream, vision and passion to share. and i'm ready to give it to the world. >> in your family, a lot of special needs. people who challenges. your aunt rosemary, and knowing that there was something different. how did the family handle that? >> it was a very difficult time. they tried to almost fix her.

see if they could make it go away. but in the end i think she taught them all something. that power isn't something you get, it's something you give. that real power comes from giving yourself to season elome. and that's the lesson that shaped them all and shaped my generation too. >> think of the wonderful family and all that you have accomplished, when it's said and done, people are going to remember this part of your family's legacy. >> it's amazing to me that rosemary kennedy inspired some of the most powerful and lasting changes in this country and other countries. >> can i have the -- >> there. the good hands here. special olympics, you are the chairman and has been. it's something that goes back to your mom. >> yeah. you see there, play unified. >> yes. >> play unified. don't play angry, don't play distracted, don't play for just defeating other people. the message of this movement, 4 million athletes, 170 countries,

the finish line and goes that's the best i can do. i'm a champion. >> hey, tim, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we're going to be spending a lot of time between now and july. >> i hope so. >> he is a special man. fully alive is in bookstores starting today. and the 2015 special olympics world summer games open july 25th, 2015 in los angeles. i'll be there. coming up,
