2002 NCAA: Aaron Holker (Iowa St) vs Eric Larkin (Ariz St)

Arron Holker that's my XO he is still on his game. A down to earth Soldier.

Just think; had Douglas stayed at AZ State that school, not Iowa State, would have had Holker, the Sanderson brothers, Joe Heskett, Zach Roberson... Douglas won Div. I down here at AZ state, so he certainly would have been able to recruit them, and there would have been an added bonus for them; nice, mild winters rather than freezing cold Iowa winters!

I served in Iraq with Aaron. He's a great kid. We were on Strike Force Recon Scorpion Team 2 together, in the al Anbar province. Our team chief was trying to move Holker out of Iraq and to the Army wrestling team the entire time but Holker decided to stick with us through the entire combat tour.

This likely set back his wrestling career but Aaron never complained. He's a great patriot.
