46-38 GOLD MEDALS AND 104-87 TOTAL MEDALS, BEATING CHINA!
Over the last several weeks we have been bringing you many stories from the Olympics in London, highlighting the amazing feats of our Military Olympians. These amazing athletes serve in the Armed Forces, and on Team USA. With the Olympic games now coming to a close, we reflect back on our troops achievements on the battlefield and on the athletic field.
BATTLEFIELD IN AFGHANISTAN WHO SELDOM GET RECOGNITION
As we celebrate our Military Olympians, who can do such amazing things in their events, let us not forget the amazing things our troops overseas do every day in Afghanistan with little fanfare.
Our troops continue fighting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda despite the 110+ degree heat and diminishing media coverage about their efforts. They fight to make sure that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven and training ground for terrorist to plot attacks to kill American civilians - which is their aim!
Our fighting military will not receive media attention or acclaim for their heroic acts, but we will thank them with a care package of support from home.
Our Military Olympians have a lot to be proud of, with competitors in over 16 events and several Gold medal victories, contributing to the United State's overall victory in total number of medals, and the highest number of gold medals. The USA amassed 46 Gold Medals and 107 Medals total to beat out China which had 38 Gold and 87 Medals overall.
