So heart warming and inspirational............
At The start of the video was another important reference: Pat Tillman #40

I'm a very proud VietNam veteran and events like these (2) should be compulsory viewing. A refresher course in what citizenship is all about.
Pat is my personal and only "HERO".
The bridge across the Colorado River at Hoover Dam has his name on it.

Josh! So good to hear from you! And now you’re in my old XC ski stomping grounds in Idaho. I recognized that great trail you were on. Hope you’re having fun pushing yourself to new heights, as always. How cool that you get to help the young ones with your example.

I’m still taking care of your former van and remember fondly all of your generous help in that fantastic shop of yours. I’ll always be glad we crossed paths and think of you whenever I walk by the van: new axle, trailer hitches, swivel seats, Bushwackers... the list goes on and on. Hope we can get together again one day.

And thanks, Michael, for posting the video. Our old friend has really made it to the big time!

I almost posted this the other day. Not to steal Sweezy's thunder but any of you that want to read a GREAT book should check out Krakauer's story on Pat Tillman. I need to read it again it was so good.

Oh! Wow!

I’m in awe... Josh told me he played sled hockey a few years ago... mentioned they moved to Boise. Maybe I didn’t ask enough questions but in his usual humble self, didn’t say the extent of it!
I did not know there is Paralympic Nordic event either- very cool!!
Thanks for sharing for sure
