LTC Brown (3-61 CAV Commander) and I walked over to the park just in time to watch the final pull (best of three) in the Warrior Games Tug of War. 3-61 CAV yanked the "competition" like yard dogs.

PULL! PULL! PULL!
Getting encouragement from LTC Brown, 1SG Burton and 3-61 CAV members
And in only a matter of seconds the red flag was totally out of site of the midpoint where it began.
The "competition"
After the tug of war victory LTC Brown and I moved to the basketball court for the finals in that event.

This is to certify that on 9 January 2010 this American flag was
flown over FOB Bostick, Afghanistan during Operation
Enduring Freedom. As this flag was flown, it symbolized the
sovereign power of the United States of America and the
unshakeable resolve to keep our country safe
It is signed by CSM Wilson and LTC Brown

It was a wonderful day. We spent 5-6 hours at the park in the shadows of the peaks of the front range of the Colorado Rockies on a picture perfect day. How can life get any better?
