Sharing this again because it is a good program = Great program for Heroes Day on 23Nov19 Vs. Texas State to sponsor military members, first-responders, and their families to attend an App State football game. Tickets are only $20. We sponsored 5. We challenge all App State Grads and/or Retired Veterans to sponsor one. The POC at the App State ticket office is Trevor Taylor at 828-262-2079
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: App State Athletics Announces Rewards Program for Heroes Day
I'm a YC member and season ticket holder ever since my combat-related medical "retirement" in 2013 thanks to a rocket attack after 4 tours in the sandbox. I kinda wish there was a first responders/non combat vet day AND a combat Vet recognition day.... but I also know it takes a lot of courage just to sign up to do any of it. I understand the sentiments of calling folks heroes, but there are plenty of military personnel that haven't seen a fraction of the tragedy EMS/FIRE deal with as far as decapitations/death/fire/misery/pain AND vice versa. Volunteer/part-time "heroes" deal with it nearly every single day and most work a blue collar job with a radio on their waist. Those folks deserve recognition separated from others that deserve recognition. I know that was clear as mud, but I think Veterans and first responders should not have to share a day of recognition.
