Wow!

"75-Year-Old Army Surgeon Heading To Afghanistan"

He served a 6-mo. tour in Iraq last year. A retired Colonel, he enlisted in the National Guard because he didn't think it was right that just the younger soldiers should serve their country in this war in the Middle East.

Great article, a great and accomplished man, and thanks for the link!

Never look back at a horse/donkey/mule if you want it to follow you. Look ahead at where you're going.
