Latino Marine Doing 1M Pushups For Wounded Soldiers

Umm, who cares what race the Marine is, especially when he is doing the push ups for all soldiers/Marines who have been injured, regardless what race they are.
From the story: A U.S. Marine is on a mission to help soldiers injured while serving in the military.
U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Enrique Trevino began the push-up challenge as a New Year's resolution. "I just challenged myself to do a million push-ups," said Trevino.
Now, Sergeant Trevino is determined to do 1 million push ups by year's end, for the Wounded Warrior Project. "Instead of doing a million push-ups to benefit myself," he said, "I want to give back to my brothers and sisters in the armed forces, who have had so much taken away from them."
The project provides programs and services to severely-injured service members, during the time between active duty and transition into civilian life. "A lot of people have forgotten about them," Trevino said.
Trevino is hoping to change that, and so far, it seems to be working. "When it started going viral, it just amazed me how many followers I got," he said. "It means a lot. I tell them that all the time."
