We are part of a team of Junior ROTC cadets who participate in high speed "Raider" competitions. Cadet Cabrera is one of my new cadets, and the first day he rolled up in his wheel chair I asked him if he knew what he was in for.... His response was "Sir yes sir". I informed him if he wanted to be part of the Raiders he would not be treated as special, or handicapped.... And he responded again with "Sir yes sir, I wouldn't have it any other way" From that day forward he has been an inspiration to our team.... Cadet Cabrera does not seek special treatment if we run, he runs ( wheelchairs with us) push ups, rope climb.... You name it and he is doing it with us to include off road obstacle courses. This is where you come in, his wheelchair is sorely lacking, and the price is high, but if there was ever a young man worth the money he is it.... His spirit to triumph despite the adversity of his cerebral palsy never fail to raise morale..... So reach deep into your pockets and give till it hurts, so we can get this young man into the chair of his dreams.... HOOAH (an Army term of acknowledgement)
