Much of this article focuses on Chad Jenkins, a 20 year look back of this still young warrior’s life. I feel compelled to share it… The players in this game are a dying breed amongst nationally telecast football games, that being “College student athletes”. And yes, it goes so far beyond “student”.

“This is a story of sacrifice and dedication and growth through the eyes of a hero, a significant participant in our country’s emergence from that terrible day….

The entire process — from Army prep school to the battlefield — is about prioritizing decisions. In the intense study environment of the academy, football was a relief. That paper due the next paled in comparison to being able to hit a teammate or opponent.”

Soli Deo Gloria!
