Lacrosse players have to make plenty of sacrifices in their life, but Denver Outlaws attackman Jeremy Boltus will be making an even bigger one. The West Point grad will be serving in the United States Army for the next nine months, choosing country before all.

Boltus will give up playing in the 2014 season and fly to Afghanistan to take part in the "War on Terror." This is his first deployment, so his first tour will be part of OEF 14.The Baldwinsville, N.Y. native has been a fantastic player in his MLL career. He's recorded 76 points in just 33 games, registering 30 points in his first two seasons in the league. He's played for three teams in his three years as a pro, suiting up for Hamilton, Charlotte and Denver.

"It makes me proud that I can serve this great country and be a part of one of the greatest teams this country has ever assembled," Boltus said.

We here at Major League Lacrosse would like to wish Jeremy and all his U.S. Army teammates the best of luck and a safe return.
