I agree, the coach drilled them until they puked and then ran them some more. Rubber legs dont win gold... They had to outlast thier opponants to win.

If anyone has about 30 minutes to spare, feel free to watch a quick documentary on the 1980 Miracle on Ice team. In this one, you will see our sports heroes, instead of the actors. It helps you understand what Rizzo is talking about when you see how much that one event shaped our country and gave us new hope.

Miracle (the movie) was great because it gave the background of the training that our guys went through, courtesy of Herb Brooks.

We made our kids watch both of these when they were young, so they knew something about the times that their parents and grandparents had gone through. They didn’t have to live through those times, but it helped them gain an understanding of those times.

God bless and protect the United States of America. We need His blessing and protection.
