Air Superiority At The Warrior Games: Air Force’s Jason Morgan And Napal

Posted on | May 9, 2010 | No Comments

It’s been my great privilege over the last three days to spend a lot of time around the Air Force team that’s here in Colorado Springs to compete in the first-ever Warrior Games, including Canine Companions for Independence graduate Jason Morgan and his service dog Napal II, who I wrote about a few days ago in this post.

Last night my wife Joann and I spent several very enjoyable hours at dinner with Jason and Napal. Not only is Jason a really nice guy and Napal the classic CCI service dog, Jason’s story of how he came to be injured and his recovery is truly incredible.

It’s not something he’s talked about a lot for a number of good reasons, so most people – including those associated with CCI – don’t know it. I did find one place where Jason’s written about it, though, and if you wanna read an amazing story, just go to this link:

Rumor has it we’ll be seeing them on the cover of Airman Magazine in the near future. I know I’ll definitely be watching and rooting for them in competition this week.
