Master Sgt. Aguilera-
It’s really amazing; it’s very humbling you know, I didn’t think this was going to happen.
between the third and fourth quarter, the USA team recognized the sacrifice of these men and women on center court. Sgt. Stepanek
It feels really great to be here and I’m very appreciative that we’re actually allowed to come here and check out a game for somebody to hold us in a high honor in front of all these great people. It’s really great so I really appreciate it.
