Eleck Stone had a wish to be Ranger. He also has cystic fibrosis, but the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Rangers of the 75th Ranger regiment combined forces to help Eleck’s wish come true, according to the Army Times<\/a>; <\/p>\n

Eleck Stone joined soldiers with the 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia, for two days of training last week \u2014 everything from airborne operations training to time on the shooting range to a simulated raid alongside his battle buddies and his younger brother, Bryce.<\/p>\n

After a stellar performance, “the Regimental Commander and Regimental Sergeant Major voted unanimously to add Eleck to the ranks of the U.S. Army’s premier raid force,” the unit’s Facebook page announced Friday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
