Wow ! Thank you very much for this story. I wish we were  closer to Anchorage so I could attend the Arctic Entries "It take Two". 
I hope a lot of young people go. I don't know if Roger has ever been filmed telling this story but he should be and people, especially young people, should hear it.
My son and his wife both served and reading this make me think I need to be more tolerant about their tattoos. Especially the one my son, a Marine, had done after his second tour in Iraq. 
Roger and other men and women who have served our country deserve so much more then what they get.
The story was very moving and I will share with my husband who served in Vietnam as a gunman on helicopters and a grunt on the ground.
