Here's a note that just came across my desk:
Recently, COL Brown, former Commander of 1-/25 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, and a few wounded soldiers formerly under his command, participated in a team building exercise with the U.S. Olympic Men's basketball team. Attached at the end of this string is a link to a short collection of excerpts from that event. As time permits, please review the clip. It speaks volumes about valor, leadership, duty, commitment, stewardship...and why the contribution you make to Army readiness remains critically important.Coach K was COL Bob Brown's coach at West Point prior to moving to Duke, hence the relationship that is still in place. When you see the tears on the cheeks of the NBA players, it's got to be good.
