My Hero Son Got To Throw Out The First Pitch

I ask Slab before posting this, but also know there were a lot of people here that sure gave us support during the years following his injury!

Last night Randy got to throw out the first pitch at the Texas Rangers game last night and wanted to share with all the people here that gave so much support back in 2007 when he was injured by the IED. They needed a Special Forces guy and a Team 43 Member which is George W. Bush's team so Randy got to throw out the first pitch.

The Bush Center tweeted about this also!

I am sorry, but the video I made is on my timeline on Facebook. The file it too large to upload here even thought it's only a very short video, still it's like 46MB, but here is the link...

Wow! What a honor for an honorable man. Thank you for your service and God Bless America!

Quite an honor!

Quite a honor.............Gob Bless men like Randy

We should all be grateful to anyone in the military, past and present no matter our stance. They give more than we will ever know. Thank you for your service and a big thank you to the parents of this man. People often forget about the moms and dads and the service they have given with your child in the military. Thank you for sharing that post with us.

More teams need to take a page from the Texas Rangers on this one. I am seeing more and more wounded vets throwing out the first pitch for them. Rob Terkla threw one out a week or so ago!

Congrats to Randy and thanks to him and all service men and women who protect us.

I saw the video. Stick to golf. haha. Fellows you should see him swing a club. In long pants you can't tell. He is the stuff hero's are made of. Thank you for your service Randy and thanks for sharing Skip.

Thank you all, I appreciate the support from here back when all this started, actually for me it was December 22, 2006 the day he was blown up. Even with all that happened it was years before he gave up the dream of returning to his unit and finally realized his leg just was not going to get good enough. He and his son will be here in a few days and I will get him to read these messages from y'all!

I am also sure if anyone want to read any of that old stuff it's still on here!

Thank you,

Skip

That is awsome. Congrats.:HandsClappingUSA FLAG

Congratulations to both of you and Thank him for me for his service and sacrifice to this great Nation.

A veteran named Randy, I’m fortunate to have a brother of the same name and a 24yr veteran. I humbly salute you sir and all who have and are serving. May God bless.

Skip, you got it right. Your son is one of our TRUE heroes.
Thank him for his service and we will keep him and all of
his brothers in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for sharing, I've said it many times and I'll say it again, I am deeply indebted to those who have served this country.....it's a debt I can never repay......the very least I can do to show my respect is to stand for the national anthem.

Please tell your son we appreciate his service. USA FLAG

Thank you all so much, we both really appreciate it! If he can get here this week I will try to remember to get him to come make a post while he is here. Just not positive that he will make it or not yet.

Skip

That's awesome! Tell your son thanks for his service and sacrifice for this great nation! I pray that he is getting the best of care, and will continue to get what he needs. That's where I want my tax money to go, for guys like him.

Thank you Randy for your service and congratulations om a job well done.

Thank you sir for your service.
