"Our goal was for them to successfully complete all the challenges they were faced with so they can look back and know that they have the grit, determination and self-discipline to work hard and rise above every obstacle in their way," said Director of Summer Operations Col. Rick Grabowski. "They did just that, and I'm very proud of their performance."
Hart is the son of Mary Hart.
