Returned From Iraq
by Paul Kingston

Angelo returned from a trip to Iraq on Sunday evening, but his impact has already been noted by the men he has visited.

Emory King III, a member of the U.S. Navy, took the time to e-mail AT and express his gratitude:

I'm in the US Navy and...would like to thank [Angelo] for taking his time to come out to Kuwait to talk and sign autographs with all of the sailors and soilders at Camp Arifjan along with the other athletes.

It's people like him that make track and field a great sport to watch as well participate like I did back when I ran in high school and college. If somebody could let me know, that would be great. Thank you for your time.
