Military Olympians
Posted at 2:56 am | Filed Under News
Ever since my college wrestling days, I’ve been inspired by the drama of international sports competitions such as the Olympics. There’s a great sense of “serving one’s country” about it, while the world watches. Naturally, many of our military servicemen and women are drawn to it for that reason. This week, we honor those Active Duty military who are currently in Beijing with dreams of gold. Click here to read more about them, and be sure to root for them as they compete. Also in Beijing is Donna DeVarona, the two-time Olympic gold medallist swimmer and Veterans Advantage Advisory Board member. This super-star athlete and sportscaster has long been involved in the Olympic movement. She’s currently working to bring back women’s softball to the Games and is attending with her spouse, Army Veteran and hedge fund manager John Pinto, and children JD (a standout swimmer at Brown) and Joanna (a talented actress from Catholic University). Go Donna!
And be sure to root for one very special Veteran, Duke Men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski who is leading America’s best professional basketball stars for its own gold medal run.
