Not about Clemson or Football

Just thought some would like to see, something we
don't see or hear about
This is awesome!!!!!
It's a shame something this valuable has not been televised.
Army Ranger Surprise
You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw who they were talking about... I had no idea....wait till you see who it is. What a simple but most sincere and moving acceptance speech. Loved his recommendation for all our politicos.
Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S. Army. He is the son of an Air Force General, an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer and he graduated from Pomona College with a B.S. Degree, and then became a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University.
He joined the U.S. Army at the prompting of his father. After graduating from Officer Candidate School, he attended and graduated from both Army Airborne and Ranger training in the very top of each class. He was selected for U.S. Army Special Forces Training, but refused so that he could attend pilot training where he earned his wings and became an accomplished U.S. Army helicopter (gunship) pilot and achieved the rank of Captain.
He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major and was appointed to teach at West Point when he resigned his commission from the Army to go into music and acting. You can tell in this video that his time in the military means a lot to him. I won't give away who it is. You should just watch. I bet you will be surprised!

when he wanted a song to get to a certain entertainer, Johnny Cash, he flew it out to his lawn in Nashville in an NG helicopter. this was before anyone knew who he was. in fact I think he was the janitor at a record company in his spare time trying to break into the business.

Sunday morning is actually cash's best song too IMO. One of the best song writers from the 70's and a man worth any award!

about growing up as a military child called "Brats, our journey home" with Gen. Schwartzkopf. He's seen a lot in his days.

You know, priorities and values are screwed up, as evidenced by the lack of appreciation and respect for our military, our elders, human life, etc. A prime example of that is the young Grayson football player who was murdered this week for his collection of shoes.

Maybe you got thumbed-down since you can't follow the rules

I come to this board to read about Clemson sports, not other stuff. Crump created other boards here to post about non-Clemson things.

It's on "The Amphitheatre"
Feb 9, 2013, 9:14 AM
|

"The Amphitheatre Discuss non-sports related Clemson Topics here."
All the other stuff here should be on the boards Crump and B-Meist designed to keep the clutter off the Clemson board. They went to the effort to make the boards; TiegrNetters could show the simple courtesy to follow their rules. Heck, at least sspassport is a donor and doesn't freeload on all of Crump and B-Meist's hard work.
And thanks, but I can cover my own 6 well enough.

If what you say is true, Why did you even read
Feb 13, 2013, 7:01 AM

It was clearly stated not about Clemson or Football
If you are the self appointed t-net boards po-po you're not doing too good a job
Yes I have checked and will continue to monitor your performance
