The Olympics stir the patriot in everyone, but it’s hard to feel more patriotic than Joshua Richmond, a full-time soldier with a keen eye and quick reflexes on the U.S. shooting squad. Staff Sgt. Richmond is a member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia. He teaches marksmanship and hits the road for exhibitions, but he’s no desk jockey. Richmond volunteered for a stint in Afghanistan and spent three months near Kabul teaching Afghan soldiers the finer points of marksmanship.
