Help Nick Vogt Meet Tayor Swift!

As many of you found out from this webpage, a few months back, my good friend, Nick Vogt, an officer in the Army Rangers was severely wounded after stepping on a roadside bomb. His recovery to this point has been nothing short of miraculous. 

The other day, his mom told him he had a special visitor and he immediately perked up and said "Taylor Swift?!" but it ended up being his sister (which is awesome too!). However, I know it'd be a real treat for Nick to meet Taylor Swift, so please sign this online petition going around - and spread it to your friends and family! Thanks so much!

Update on 2nd Lt. Vogt

Your prayers are working. Please keep them up as Nick has a long road to recovery, but right now, things are certainly looking up.

A True American Hero, 2nd Lt. Nicholas Vogt

I'm changing things up here for this post. I've run a couple "patriotic" feel posts before, but this one is different. This one is personal. This is something I am sharing with you all because I'm urging you to pray for my friend Nick. He was recently injured in Afghanistan after stepping on an IED in the ground. I can assure you he's a man of honor, faith and integrity. He's the kind of guy fathers want their sons to become, mothers want their daughters to marry, Soldiers want to have as an officer, and other men envy because of how he's developed himself morally, mentally and physically. Nick is an Army Ranger and I know his plans after that included becoming a combat surgeon for the Army. He is a 2010 graduate of West Point. I'm telling you, he's an American hero and he needs your prayers to stay alive.

Please.

Mississippi Braves Surprise

A Major in the Army came back from 9 months in Afghanistan and surprised his wife by posing as the catcher for her ceremonial first pitch. Watch it on CNN here. As you may recall, we featured the Mississippi Braves in a post not too long ago.
