Hawkeyes and Wildcats

Unlike the sports icons we see today, Nile Kinnick was one of the most humble athletes and one of the most dedicated patriots this country has ever seen.  I even track down a few relatives that have some stories of their own.  They share their gratitude about how the blood that runs in their veins has ultimately changed their lives for the better.
