Amazing & Phenomenal With a Dose of Inspiration

I received a wonderful comment on one of my photos...



"AMAZING doesn't even describe this picture.  
Phenomenal is more like it!!!"

 

 

This quote came from one of the organizers of

a Special Olympics Tournament

held at Ft. Leonard Wood.

 

But I want to turn those adjectives

around and direct them to the

organizers and volunteers and athletes of this event!

 

The organizers were so Amazing.

Their talent and ability to put on an event such as this

 enabled these athletes to have a very special day.
Thank you for your hard work, Organizers!

 

The soldiers volunteering their time were Phenomenal.

It was nothing less than heartwarming and emotional

watching these men and women interacting

with these athletes.
Thank you for your willingness to serve, Soldiers!

 

And speaking of the athletes...

they were both Amazing and Phenomenal!

And I'll throw in the word Inspirational.

Their dedication to hard work was obvious.

The joy they were experiencing was contagious....
just look at the grin above!
Thank you for your example, Athletes!


This competition truly was a display of
the Special Olympics mission:

.... develop physical fitness,
demonstrate courage,
experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts,
 skills and friendship with their families,
other Special Olympics athletes and the community. 

                             

Job well done, everyone, 

and I look forward to more events in the future!
