Wounded Warriors at the White House

[jenmito]

"The President hosted a remarkable group of wounded veterans a few weeks ago on the White House basketbal court. These "Wounded Warriors" from Walter Reed Army Medical Center showed President Obama a thing or two about wheelchair basketball. Check out the impressive moves that can be performed on four wheels: (video included)"

3. They were showing this on ESPN on Sunday

It sounded like the soldiers had a ball

[jenmito]

4. Darn, I missed it.

Was there longer video than this?

[Thrill]

6. No actually they were only interviewing the coach

and showing bits and pieces. It was on Outside the Lines. I was wondering where the full video was. Thanks for posting!!

[jenmito]

8. Oh, ok...

so what I posted was the whole thing. I'm glad I posted it so those of you who saw parts of it on ESPN can now see the entire thing. :hi:

7. Geez, that's heartbreaking.

And probably why Bush would never have them at the White House, too much trouble for lil' George.

[jenmito]

same reason he never visited Dover for the return of the bodies.

Doh!!!

[jenmito]

15. That's so poignant! They

are making the best of something bad that happened..so inspiring are those young soldiers.

The video feed kept breaking up on my link but I got it for the most part.

Thanks, jen:hi:

[jenmito]

18. Yes, it is...

I agree. (If you pause it while it buffers, it wouldn't have kept breaking up (if you mean stopping).

No problem, Cha! :hi:

[Cha]

19. Hmmm I'll have to

try that. You hit the pause button while it's buffering it will be better? 'Cause it did keep stopping this one was even more erratic than usual.

But, it was Amazing..I think PObama got those long shots he tried?..it was kinda of hard to see.

[jenmito]

20. Yeah...

pause it the first time it stops until you see the light color (on the line that shows the button moving as it plays) going all the way to the end of the video. That'll mean it buffered the whole thing and you can watch it non-stop.

[Cha]

21. Wow, thanks..I'm glad

we had this conversation!

[jenmito]

22. So am I...

this should let you enjoy all videos that stall on you like that from now on. :)
