Who was the walk on to the football team a few years ago that was in Iraq or Afghanistan??? Really, can't remember his name.

There's got to be some wonderful veteran's out there who'd be so honored. Surely the players have a family member that fits the criteria???

If I can help please contact me, I donate 6 Sugar Bowl tickets every year. I have funded 3 weddings this year, have vets and their families going to Red Sox games here in Ft. Myers, clothes, food any thing they may need.
My 13th golf tournament The Cajun Classic will be held on May 21st, if you know of a veteran in La. I will provide a condo, three days of golf and food for the golf tournament.

Don't know him but I live 1/2 mile from there. If it's across the highway from the store and they face each other, that house/yard is ALWAYS so neat! Nominate him!!!

I'd love to nominate my grandfather who was a pilot on D-Day over Normandy ... sadly it's almost the 1 year anniversary of his death.
