Jared Heisler's son Matt, 21, died in a house fire at the University of North Dakota. 

Eight months after Matt's death, Jared was able to listen to Matt's heartbeat inside of the chest of Vietnam veteran Tom Meeks.

Fortunately, Matt had signed up to be an organ donor when he was 16.

Here is Jared listening to Matt's heartbeat inside someone else for the first time after the accident.
