Josh, Matt, Papa, and our cousin Steve Young had the opportunity to go down to a University of Idaho football game in Moscow last Saturday. Steve is a Sargeant Major in the Army Special Forces and has been here for two weeks on a recruiting assignment . Saturday was Veterans appreciation day at the U of I, so he was invited to make a presentation. To open his presentation he repelled from the raftors. Josh said it was super cool. Because he has the highest rank which can be awarded to an enlisted soldier, he was basically treated like a celebrity and was able to get the boys media passes, which allowed them full access to the field and teams. Papa gave them his camera to take pictures. At the end of the game one of the soldiers picked up the game ball and gave it to the boys. They had an absolute blast and felt like celebrities themselves. Matt and Josh are great friends and they both love Football, so this was perfect for them. This is something that they will remember for the rest of their lives. Thank you Steve, Papa and Grandma Westover for taking the boys out for an amazing time.
Sadly the team lost, but they all had a blast anyway.
