Will-ing and No Excuses
Will Cox just wanted to be a Navy Seal. Those amazingly tough military men who go where no other military personnel go. Into the fire while everybody else is running from the fire. Daring rescue missions, risky covert operations and dicey solo, Lone Ranger operations with no guarantee of return. Will was in the heart of the grinding training when his dream came crashing into reality, and the ground.

Well spoken, cerebral with a caveat of guy going forward but still enjoying the idea of just being a high school teen. Jackson called me, indirectly...about his Eagle Scout project ( he's collecting old flags and retiring them, information how you can help him is below) ...but after about a minute...I knew this was a story about Jackson...not what he's doing , but how he thinks and does things. Dressed in a business attire, the tall slim Jackson looked...
