Scott's View: Honoring West Point's Col. Douglas Wheelock

Douglas Wheelock

With the last Space Shuttle mission scheduled for July 8, we want to introduce you to our TopRank, Col. Doug "Wheels" Wheelock of the US Army and NASA, the commander of the International Space Station (ISS), Expedition 25. Long-time friend Mark Sullivan introduced us to "Wheels" recently, and we're grateful he did. There's an adage that says true success comes to those who genuinely and freely share their gifts with others. Col. Wheelock embodies that adage. He is truly an inspiring individual with a deep respect for those who serve and those who need a little extra inspiration in order to serve. Enjoy!

This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
