Right off his sleeve


Greg Schreffler is one of our Atlanta area black belts, trained by Robert Ray. When 9/11 happened Greg got so motivated he joined the National Guard - at the age of, I believe, 35. He was the oldest guy in boot camp. Greg has been shipped to Georgia and Afghanistan, where he is now serving. There's a symmetry to that, a Georgia boy going to Georgia in Asia.
Like some other military I've trained in the past, he sent me a unit patch. It came right off his uniform, and that means a lot.
