With less than two weeks before the Navy Midshipmen come to town to open the 2009 college football season, there's is something other than the game, players, coaches and match-ups that I'd like to share with you all.
I have a friend of mine whose daughter was very close to a classmate of hers. He signed up for the Army right after high school and he ultimately found himself in Iraq.
On August 4th, 2009 he lost his life, fighting for our country and for our freedoms. He was just 19 years old.
So please, in 12 days when Navy comes to Columbus, please support this great idea and welcome them into Ohio Stadium.
Please spread the word and send this to all the Buckeye fans you know.
Of course, we can still root for an OSU victory, but there are bigger things in life than football.
Supporting the men and women of our Armed Forces is one of them.
Please, whatever you do, don't boo Navy. Instead, treat them as you treat our Buckeyes.
Thank you!

First off I would like to say my heart goes out to your daughter's friend and family. It is never easy to lose a fellow service member. Being a buckeye fan and being in the NAVY I know first hand that my fellow buckeye fans will treat the NAVY team with respect that they diserve. GO BUCKS
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't see Buckeye fans booing Navy. I'm doijng my best to spread the word!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and for your service to our country as well AT3!
