Baseball Diplomacy

[smotan_02]

It isnt often I get to share what our Soldiers do in this venue, but Im please to show our Soldiers using baseball as a bridge to our NATO allies.

Im very proud of my unit (The 173rd Infantry Brigade-Airborne!) and the great strides we take to reassure and train our NATO allies and remain ready and resilent on the Eastern European border.

While our boys didnt win, I consider it a great use of our love of the game to develop a lasting relationship with a strong NATO partner.

Leon- if this needs to go in the watercooler section, I completely understand.
