Former Army Ranger Cedric J. King, who was injured

Former Army Ranger Cedric J. King, who was injured in Iraq in July of 2012 when he stepped on an Improvised Explosive Device, addresses the crowd during a fund-raising golf tournament called “Birdies for the Brave” held at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) Sugarloaf, in Duluth, Georgia Aug. 5. Birdies for the Brave is a national military outreach initiative dedicated to honoring and showing appreciation to the courageous men and women of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Originally created in 2006 by one of the golfing world’s elite players, Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy, it has since been expanded to include military outreach and appreciation activities during PGA tour events, TPCs and partner courses across the nation.
