Pat Scott, who helped lead the Staples High School football team to the Class L state championship last season, has decided to join the U.S. Marines so he can help fight in the war against terrorism, according to today’s The Hour of Norwalk. Scott, shown earlier this year with Coach Marce Petroccio at a team banquet, reportedly told Petroccio: “Coach, I’m going to the Marines. That’s what I always wanted and that’s what I’m doing. ” He reports to Parris Island, S.C. Oct. 23 to begin basic training, the newspaper said. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo

  1. God Bless Pat Scott

    He joins some other great Staples atheletes from recent football, golf andother sports in supporting and defending us all.

    Thank you all!

  2. Defending us? from what, may I ask. What was ever a threat to thisi country in Iraq? It is sad when young people feel compelled to risk their lives on account of falling in the hands of irrational propaganda.

  3. Dissent is a patriotic act.

    Enlisting in the military to protect our country is a patriotic act.

    To Pat, I say thank you for putting your life on the line to defend our country.

    To Andrea, I say thank you for thinking for yourself and for daring to speak out in dissent.

    To Sean, I say speak for yourself, and I suggest that you go reread some of your US history books. Then spend some time thinking about what the Founding Fathers were doing when they signed the Declaration of Independence.

  4. you know what cdozo, i am speaking for the people that actually have American Pride. Enough pride that they will stick up for this country no matter what its going through. People should stop questioning why we are there and start supporting the country they live in. Support this country and support this president. I feel he is doing a hell of a job in the situation he is in. Oh, and don’t try and get smart, esp, don’t try and get smart if you aren’t even man enough to post your name. I’ll man up and back behind what I am saying and not by a fake name, my name is Sean Mirkov.
