Let the Games Begin

There are so many wonderful people in Vancouver.   The crispness in the air, the excitement of the tourists, the support of the town, combine them all with the passion of the athletes, and these 2010 Winter Games are going to be magnificent! 

The opening ceremonies will surely delight those lucky enough to be there, as well as the worldwide audience.  The anticipation of the opening ceremonies is one that takes over and thrills so many.  I can't wait to make my way over to Vancouver's B.C. Place stadium.  Mark Grimmette has the honor of proudly carrying the American flag.  Mark has the spirit that represents an Olympic Athlete. Mark loves the sport that chose to hold a special place in his heart. Mark isn't a wealthy or well-known athlete. Mark is unassuming yet passionate, and always wears that smile on his face. His numerous medals are tucked away in a sock drawer at home.  Mark's strength and determination led his USA teammates to choose him as the bearer of dreams, promise of delight, and drive of an athlete ~ AN OLYMPIC AHLETE! We look forward to cheering Mark and he rest of the USA Team as they enter the stadium.
