yellowlab03 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Awesome, thanks for sharing! Were you part of the group? Quote
keenwesh Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 this is so cool, in my 19 years I doubt many things about the us government. Our veterans deserve the utmost respect and this i exactly that. We need to take everyone who has endured great hardship or wildly violent experiences into the mountains where none of that shit matters. shit, a few of those dudes were missing limbs! A big round of applause to the guys who took these people up, this is badass! Quote
chris54 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Great stuff. I work with a lot of veteran and will pass this video on. Quote
Dave7 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) As a veteran of OEF, I can say the mountains have a 'healing' effect. It makes me proud to watch these vets climb and not treat there injuries as a hinderance but better yet a challenge, to face and overcome. It also makes me proud to be part of a climbing community that is willing to helping out other people experience climbing. Edited October 16, 2011 by Dave7 Quote
