Hate to label it "vanity" because it appears anything but.

I wanted to share this with FReepers. I figure that if you don't cry from it's inspiration it's because you've seen the video before.

The film is of Lt Col (Ret) Dick Hoyt, Air National Guard and his son, Rick.


TOPICS: US: Massachusetts
KEYWORDS: disabled; fatherhood; inspiration; ironman; marathon; military
Whatever the politics of Team Hoyt, it's probably not important. I understand that they had a picture taken with Ronald Reagan, but I couldn't find it on the web. But Jeff from www.JeffIsCool.com is a Republican and an Aggie (Gig 'Em!).

A young theologian tried to explain how the Holy Spirit is the "sigh" of Love between God the Father and Son of God. I think this short film mirrors such a love between son and father.

I've had the pleasure of meeting them - they are local here in MA. Not only do they run marathons but they also do bi/triathalons. Did not know he was ANG. Surprised they could find a uniform to fit him, he has thighs that are so muscular they look like tree trunks.
