US Olympian and Soldier to Afghanistan

John Napier is representing his country in Vancouver in the Olympic games. The 23 year old bobsled racer will compete in the two man and four man bobsled. This racer is also a member of the Vermont National Guard and Sgt. Napier is expecting to serve on the frontlines in Afghanistan after the winter games. He is part of the army's "World Class Athlete Program" and is one of seven army soldiers competing in Vancouver. Napier has petitioned his command to join his unit which is on the ground in Afghanistan and an army official confirms that it is likely that he will deploy in the months following the Olympics.
