With 2024 gold medal-winning American Paralympic athlete and Retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jason Tabansky (from Eliza P)
One of my favorite family vacations we’ve taken since I’ve lived in Germany has been to drive to Paris, France and go to the 2024 Paralympics. We went to cheer for our family friend, Mr. Jason Tabansky, while he competed for and won the gold medal in para-archery. Mr. Jason served in the Army with my daddy many years ago. I also got to meet Mr. Matt Stutzman, Mr. Jason’s para-archery teammate. Mr. Matt doesn’t have arms and shoots his compound bow with his legs and feet. Mr. Matt won a gold medal, too!
While we were in Paris we also visited the Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, the Musee de Orsay, and we cruised the Seine River. My favorite part of this trip was meeting Mr. Jason and trying on his gold medal!
