We are guarded by some of the best men and women on the planet. America's Armed Forces are an all volunteer force, and are routinely criticized by those who don't bother to look into the matter much.
I just spent the weekend with a veteran of the Afghanistan War, who may be one of the bravest I have encountered. Not only did he pal around with my decidedly boring and pedestrian family, but he roomed with Gary Black for the week.
On Thursday, he ran his first ever 5K. On Friday, he ran his first ever 10K. On Saturday, he ran his first ever Half Marathon. And today, he ran his first ever Marathon! That's all on his total of 2 weeks of "Training".*
Eric White is therefore named an honorary golfer in our group.
