As a Vandy women's bb fan, but moreso just a women's sports fan, may I offer our prayers and sympathy to both Maggie's immediate family and her Black Knights family.

Maggie, you are in a better place, but it still does not ease the pain of our missing you!

May God bless and comfort.

Thought this letter was pretty good and wanted to share it. Obviously, the academies prepare as brothers in arms during their undergraduate years, and this letter gives a perspective that I hope many there have. It makes me very proud to have these types of young people preparing to lead on the battlefield.

Thought this was a pretty good writeup and wanted to share.

For a few of you that know me on this board, I am a big fan of Pat Tillman and follow his story and am thankful for him every day. His picture is on the wall of my office as a reminder.

There is a video that I found on youtube.com recently that I wanted to share with you guys. I thought it was really good and carries a good pmessage. It took a while for me to download today, it may just be slow, but thought it would be nice to remember him once in a while, as well as all of our young men who have volunteered to fight and serve. Many have been lost or wounded and carry the scars, but without people like them, like Pat, like the Cadets at West Point, we would not have the freedoms we have today.

Talk about proud parents.

I just saw this video for the first time, just really think it is special.
