Always good to see the true American Warrior that doesn't accept no, or will not quit.
That man knows his limits and I'm sure wouldn't be pursuing it if he thought it would endanger others or promote additional risk.
Drive on RANGER is correct!!

Agreed Sir! In today's day and age, it is inspiring to read about this Ranger, and his intestinal fortitude to Never Quit, and Never Give Up!!!
We need more stories like this in the media to remind Americans that there are still Those out there who can be looked upon as heroes, IMHO.
