Post; Iraq Vet Continues To Inspire


I will tell you, every level of leadership has been following this over the past weeks. It's a pretty cool story.

Super Bowl XLII: Giants NotebookBy Arthur Staple
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Giants coach Tom Coughlin addressed his team as he normally does at their Saturday night team meeting but he had a special guest address the Giants before Coughlin spoke.
Lt. Col. Greg Gadson, who lost his legs to an improvised explosive device in Iraq and has become a fixture on the Giants sideline in the playoffs, spoke for five minutes to the Giants about "pride, poise, team and belief," according to a person who was there.
Gadson was a West Point classmate and football teammate of Giants wide receivers coach Mike Sullivan and first spoke to the Giants the night before their 24-17, come-from-behind win over the Redskins on Sept. 23.
Coughlin also showed a 2 1/2-minute video of the Giants' three playoff wins and spoke to the Giants about his only prior Super Bowl experience, when he won a ring in Super Bowl XXV as the Giants wide receivers coach.

LTC Gadson got a lot of CNN coverage over this, too.
