First Annual Wounded Warrior Open

First Annual Wounded Warrior Open

 

Sgt Grit
 
This was taken on the 1st Tee (Las Colinas Country Club, Irving, Texas) at the first annual Wounded Warrior Golf Tournament.  Along with President Bush and myself is Army Sgt. Peter Richert.  I had the very distinct honor and privilege of being Pete’s caddy for the 3 day event.  Pete lost his right leg and has 160 pieces of shrapnel in his body from an IED explosion while serving in Iraq.  This is without a doubt one on the most inspirational experiences of my life.   I will treasure the experience and Pete’s friendship forever.  The event was organized by Former President George W. Bush  (43) to honor and bring awareness of our fighting men and women who have been wounded in combat.
