The courage of a Giant. ( the soldier, not my boys in blue )

[Rock Solid]

After WR Plaxico Burress scored the game-winning touchdown against the Redskins, he ran to the Giants’ sideline and presented the football to U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Greg Gadson, a double-amputee wounded in Iraq in May. Gadson spoke to the Giants before the game on Saturday night. The Giants invited Gadson and his family to attend the game and visit the locker room after the victory.

"His talk almost defined today, to be honest with you," said Coughlin. "He talked about the fact that there are going to be bad times, and you have to keep your poise and fight your way through it. He talked about fighting for every yard."

"You see a guy go through the things that he has been through and he is in such good spirits," said Burress. "It was just unbelievable to come across a person like that who went through a tremendous change in his life. I have never met somebody like that who had a high spirit like nothing was wrong. I thought, ‘I have a little ankle injury, I have to go out here and give it my best.’ I tried to go out and play not thinking about it and all I thought about when I scored that touchdown was that I wanted to find him to give him that football."
