Army Sgt. 1st Class Austin Walther, a member of the North Carolina National Guard’s B Company, 3-20th Special Forces Group (Airborne), shows what his team uses during a tour of the NCNG flight facility for members of the USA Baseball 15U National Team in Morrisville, N.C., July 19. The team of 15 years old and younger youth visited NCNG soldiers during a break in competition from a series of warm up games in the area in preparation for the upcoming Pan American Championships in Barranquilla, Columbia. The soldiers watched the young athletes squirm as they tried on heavy body armor and helmets. Some players even got to hold weapons that were made safe for display.
