These are 4 olympic gold medalists who came to FOB Grizzly to show their support for the troops. I got to drive them around and escort them to meet everybody on our Camp so I got to talk with them quite a bit. It was great and it was so nice to know famous people give their support too ;) Shannon Miller was a 2or3 time gold medalist for gymnastics at two olympics. The white guy is the 3 time gold medalist for speed skating his name is Joey Cheek. He actually brought his gold medal and wouldn't let me get away with just looking at it... he let me wear it!! Tanya Wilkenson is the taller girl who medaled in platform diving. Julius Taylor has medaled in the past and is still competing in 100meter hurdles. I might be making up the 100-part. I don't know. I was just excited that we had visitors and they wore civilian clothes. I didn't retain all of the details. Hopefully we'll have more visitors. They're taking applications if any of you want to come visit ;) hehe
