If any of you are going out to the box today, my grandpa William Thomas, will be honored as part of the salute the soldiers campaign. He is 94 and served in the pacific. He was in the army and loaded bombs on planes.
Anyway, this is his first time to the box so it should be a great day. Proud of my grandpa.
Geaux Tigers.
See y'all in a few hours.

That's awesome.
It's great that they are honering the Vets like that. They really seem to enjoy themselves.

Awesome. Hopefully you will be there to take it in with him.

I love that generation. Just imagine kids lying about their age so they could serve and the sacrifices the civilian population made... this would NEVER happen today.
Hope he feels the love from all of TigerNation and those at The Box today!!

Hopefully his visit will result in some bombs being loaded onto our bats.
