I saw this video on Foxnews.com, and had to post it. Sargent Jerrod Fields’ story is amazing. Not only is this soldier a real American hero, he is persistent and has been steadfast through many obstacles in hims personal life. Watch the video about his endeavor to participate in the Paralympic games …I love Brian’s comment about the Super Bowl ring at the end:
Happy Veteran’s Day
We honor our veterans today for their service and sacrifices for our Country and our freedom. I can never say enough to express my gratitude for all that you have done. As a Country, we don’t say thank you enough! Some of you are still living while others have past away, but you will always be appreciated in my heart.
Thank you!

Have You Forgotten?
My prayers go out today to the family members of the victims of the tragic attacks that took place on September 11, 2001 in New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. As well, my thoughts and prayers go out to our soldiers overseas who are daily risking their lives and making sacrifices to prevent such an attack from happening to our country again.
I will never forget that day as long as I live. It is amazing that 7 years have passed by already. I was at the office where I worked on the phone with a vendor placing an order for a client when the salesman on the phone paused and told me that a plane just flew into the World Trade Center. We finished our conversation and I went upstairs to my bosses office where we turned on a TV in the conference room and watched the rest of the attacks unfold within the next several minutes. I will never be able to explain the tragic loss I felt that day as I watched my country attacked by a foriegn enemy.
