#5 I am lucky to know this kid .. my Pop played baseball for Army in the '50s and is now a camp follower (they have a terrific young coach and have won their conference several times in recent years and gone on the NCAA tournament). That whole baseball program is full of young, tough smart men like this one. Godspeed to them all.
