We are pleased to report that there are a total of six army athletes who will participate in this years winter olympics. We won’t name them all by name here for the sake of space but five of them are bobsledders and one is a biathlete.
I used to fancy myself to be an athlete but I was never involved at such a high level as the ones here. My hat is off to them and this is an opportunity for me to brag on the physical fitness of our soldiers. Not all soldiers are athletic, some are far from it but there is an overwhelming majority of athletes in our armed forces.
I have served with some tremendous athletes and have met some other excellent athletes from different branches of the service. One of the best wide receivers that I ever saw in my life (even as good as pros) was a gentleman that I saw playing flag football in Fort Sill Oklahoma in either 1984 or 85. He was impossible to cover because of his tremendous speed, but he was very small so maybe he was overlooked because of his size, but there is no doubt that he could have played pro football. I like to brag on my military ring customers because they all have a story to tell.
