This is refreshing and that is sad in some ways

ESPN.com has a story about the driver of the US women's bobsled team who is being called to active duty for service in Iraq and thus will have to give up her dreams of Olympic gold.

What is interesting about this story is how Shauna Rohbock and her father react. While Shauna is disappointed, she knew when she joined the Utah National Guard she could be called up and is willing to go. Her father is concerned for her (what parent wouldn't be concerned about their child being sent to Iraq at this time) but likewise is supporting her.

This is sad because it seems newsworthy, it appears to be more the exception then the rule, at least from the media's point of view.
