it's a fine thing you're doing, coach

Short article from the RTD on Coach Leitao's trip to Iraq:

Trip to Kuwait, Iraq helps Leitao see the big picture

I wish everyone could go to Iraq, for just a day or two, just for a little bit of badly needed perspective. Failing that, since 300 million people would put a bit of a strain on the nation's airports, we should be thankful not only for the troops that fight the bad guys over there so we don't have to fight them here, but for guys like Coach Leitao that are willing to jolt themselves out of their comfy existence for a few days to offer their support and bring back a little of that perspective.
