You gotta love seeing stuff like this.
I don't care if this has been posted already. I'm proud of my Parkway Panthers and love that this is getting national attention. That kid has been raised right.

BOSSIER CITY, La. -- Security officers patrolling high school football games have seen it all.
But one sheriff working a night game last week said he's never seen something quite like this.
A group of seven World War II veterans -- six men from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and one female veteran who served in the Women in the Air Force -- were seated on the sideline as Parkway High School Varsity football team's honored guests.
They smiled as they watched players 80 years their junior run back to the field at the end of halftime.
The players were heading for a team huddle when #83 broke from the group and made a beeline for the vets.
Chase Hill, a junior at the Louisiana high school, stopped to greet the group.
"He just left the formation and came up to vets and shook every one of their hands," Lt. Bill Davis of Bossier Sheriff's Office said. "This isn't something we see every day."

No doubt he will soon be playing lacrosse for the Naval Academy.
