My dad had flown in WWII and Korea, so Army ROTC at LSU was a natural fit. One of the ROTC instructors had started a Bengal Raiders group to train cadets to survive Vietnam. We’d train weekends in the swamps learning tactics, leadership skills, teamwork, and a better understanding of our physical and mental limits. You know how life works, that experience rippled into me becoming an Airborne Ranger. When I broke my back it was my Ranger training that got me through 6 months of hospitalization and 6 months of a full body cast. As I watched President Obama describe Army Ranger Cory Remsburg as a man that, “never gives up, and he does not quit", I understood where that came from. Gain strength from your life ripples today.
