A
drenalin is a funny thing.
It's a human condition dif-
ficult to understand and
one of the most subjective feel-
ings a person can experience.
Some get adrenalin rushes
from tending a herb garden
(seriously, I love my basil plant).
For others, nothing short of
base-jumping will do. But for
soldiers of the front, their adre-
nal glands have pulsated to a
degree most people will never
experience, nor ever want to,
and this can create problems
on their return to civilian life.
As an Australian, one of the
things that stuck me most about
living in America is the revere
the military is held in. This
country's pride in its service-
men and women, from honoring
them at a supercross to grocery
discounts and priority boarding
at the airport, is nothing short
of inspiring. As is the public's
steadfast belief in what they do
in the name of the Stars and
Stripes in far off lands. But that's
only what I see.
For those that have experienced the
horrors of war, Race For The Wounded
is here to make that transition to
civilian life a bit faster, one
checkered flag at a time.
