“Alex is a talented athlete whose leadership and teamwork qualities have made him a standout at Briar Woods High School,” said John Myers, Director of Strategic Communications, Marketing and Outreach, U.S. Army Accessions Command. “Only the strongest wear the Army colors, and Briar possesses similar mental, emotional and physical strengths to Army Strong Soldiers.
