US Army Rangers and Make-A-Wish team up to make cystic fibrosis teen's dream come true.

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, FL (Feb. 26) - Weakened by a lifelong struggle with cystic fibrosis, 14-year-old Riley Woina dreamed of being strong like the heroes he'd seen in war movies like "Black Hawk Down."

He wanted to parachute, fire rounds, wear a uniform. He wasn't scared of some of the most grueling training the Army has to offer.

So when he was offered the opportunity through the Make-A-Wish foundation to realize his dream, he jumped at the chance. Recently, the Plymouth, Conn., teen got to spend a week watching the U.S. Army's 6th Ranger Training Battalion train in Florida - and even try many of the tasks himself.

I cried reading this - great story.

Thanks for sharing the story. It is always inspiring when anyone takes the time to help a sick person fulfill a wish. I'm sure that the military members involved will place this in their top five favorite days at work when they're retired and looking back at their career.
