The Person Family: SC Wounded Warrior Game

This weekend Fran, Bella and I headed down last minute for the SC/Aurn Game, which was also the wounded warrior game. We had a great time visiting with our family and friends. Bella even attended her first tailgate and she loved it! Most importantly, we were given the distinct honor of spending our weekend with one of SC's own Wounded Warriors, Lt. Nick Morris and his wife Caroline. Fran was asked earlier in the week if there was anything he could do for Nick as he is a SC graduate and a huge SC Fan, as is his wife. Timing was perfect, as we knew this weekend was the Wounded Warrior game! Long story short, Fran was able to arrange for Nick to be a part of all the pre-game and halftime festivities. Nick was one of 6 Wounded Warriors that was honored at Saturday's game. All of these men are heroes and it was such a humbling experience to be surrounded by them all. They should be an inspiration to everyone! We all had a great weekend, it was just an unbelievable experience.

Nick and his wife are currently living at the Bethesda Naval Hospital as he just had his right leg amputated 2 weeks ago. Nick was injured while serving in Afghanistan this past June. He was just one month shy from returning home from his deployment. Nick sustained some very severe injuries but is on the road to recovery. Nick will be getting his prosthetic leg in the next few weeks and will begin therapy so he can start running again! His wife Caroline is one of the strongest young women I know and she has not left his side since he got to then Walter Reid back in June! Fran and I have made friends for life and we look forward to spending time with them as they are right here in DC with us. I am sure we will be watching some football together!
