"Think of a light beyond the tunnel; there is always hope. Keep fighting until the end - no matter how difficult.” -- Ossie 2012 Worrier Games
To
my cousin, Veteran Aviation Machinist's Petty Officer 2nd Class Oswald (Ossie)
Gould and all veterans that give their life, physical, emotional, psychological presence, skills,
heart, mind, soul and spirit on the line so willingly that we can continue to experience
peace, freedom and liberty. Thank you.
Tennille & Patricia Gould running in celebration of Ossie |
In
preparation of remembrance and celebration of Ossie’s life his sister Patricia
Gould, a veteran herself and his niece Tennille Gould ran the 10K half marathon
Celebration Run San Diego, in Mission Bay, Bonita Cove San Diego on Sunday,
November 1, 2015.
Ever
the athlete, Ossie loved to run, running was his therapy and he loved to
compete. In his last competitive race, a mixed 4 x 100-meter relay at Oceana
Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, he won a bronze medal while going through
chemo for stage 4 nasopharyngeal cancer, now that’s a champion!
