This is Gerard, a veteran and an athlete competing in a handcycling bike race in Fairbanks.
Met him during a rest stop this morning outside of Talkeetna. He served from 1995-1999 and was injured when he was run over by a boat. Gerard was very quiet-spoken, had beefy arms and was missing his right leg. Our meeting was brief, but it was an honor.
