This is a picture of the Miracle on Ice. Not just a fantastic film, but an incredible story. The classic story of David vs. Goliath. In the shot you see the celebration of the USA hockey team as they celebrate a victory over the "unbeatable" Soviets. What we see is pure ecstasy as the American's trumped the world's super power against all odds. What we don't see is all of the hurdles they had to overcome. They are all college athletes as professional hockey players were not allowed to compete in the Olympics. They were forced to practice in a high school ice rink, and on limited time at that. Most importantly, what we don't see is the sweat and dedication by these young men to reach this incredible victory. All of the United States felt united behind this one team, and this victory raised the morale of an entire nation as we were recently coming out of a dark time of Post-WWII and Cold War. It made people feel proud to be American again. #GoAmerica
