That's great to hear.
I'm glad there's some support for society's real heroes

My dad is a both veteran and a 30 year retired NYPD member. Didn't raise me to see vets or cops as necessarily heroes, but people who chosen a certain calling and agreed to do it. I teach my kids to respect people who act in a way warranting respect, whether they are police officers, fire fighters, school teachers, or short order cooks. Way too much hero this and hero that in our society. Just my opinion.

I agree somewhat... but there is also too much endless bickering in today's spoiled and entitled society regarding the most trivial garbage, like even the use of the term "hero".... ironic, don't you think? Just my opinion.

I agree somewhat as well.

Hi Ed

We are going to have a bunch of MLB teams, but unfortunately the Rays will not be one this year. We are hoping to add them at some point so we can give our members down there discounts to games.

Sorry,
Joslin
