I always knew this day would come but I didn't think it would effect me like it has. I really enjoyed watching PM play the game the way he did. He gave it his all every time he stepped on the field and there aren't many players that can say that. The greatest thing about PM in my eyes is what he has done for the city of Indianapolis with all his charity work and contributions to the community while he was here.
I will leave you with this last story and it by far is the greatest reason, when I was starting out my military career at 19 years old I was flying out of the airport at Indy to go over seas to Japan and be away from my family for the first time. As I struggled coping with the reality that I would be away from my mother and brother for a long period of time and getting ready to say my good byes my mother says hey that looks like Peyton Manning let's go and say hi. Well we went up to him and in true Peyton Manning fashion he stopped what he was doing and said hello, signed an autograph and also took the time to ask why we were at the airport and thanked me for my service.
Thank you Peyton Manning there will never be another one like you! Glad that I was able to grow up watching one of the greatest of all time!
