Flag Gazer,
I am proud to see the tradition continuing. The American Military has always produced many Olympians. When I was in the Marines we had Boxers, shooters, skiers, archers, wrestlers, Power lifters. I cannot remember all the olympians our fine military has produced.
It was especially inspiring during the cold war when the American Military men would kick the Russian Military men’s butts.

Awesome post, Flag Gazer! Thank you again, so much, for telling us about these heroes! It’s amazing how many accomplishments (academic, athletic, humanitarian, etc) our troops achieve and yet it’s not something you you see posted every where. We have so much to be proud of.
