What Do We Remember

THE BOBSLEDDER’S JACKET 

by Tim Myers 

For as long as he could remember, Jack had dreamed of being in the Olympics. For years he’d worked hard to become a good bobsledder, training and practicing, always getting better. Now he and his partners were in Sapporo, Japan, for the Winter Olympics – as the American bobsled team!

The sleeve of Jack’s Olympic jacket had been torn. He loved the red, white and blue jacket, with “USA” on the front and the Olympic rings on the back, but earlier that day he’d torn it climbing a fence. 

“Too bad about your jacket,” his friend Bill told him. 

“Oh well,” Jack said, “I don’t think anyone will notice.” 

“They’ll notice it,” said Bill. “Japanese soldiers notice things like that. 

They’ll probably laugh at us.”
