My own guys on the Vikings know that my son in law, Jason is deployed to Iraq. Jason is from Buffalo New York. I'm grateful that the Army sent him to Fort Lewis, because he never would have met my daughter and become my son in law! Anyhow.....
With that being said, when the Seahawks first came into the league, I worked for them for several years. As I was telling someone, I know that if they would have received a letter asking for nominal things such as pictures or stickers, the Seahawks would have been all over themselves to get it to the person who had asked.
I try to send Jason "care packages" a couple times a month. Each package contains different items. I thought, it would be great if I could have the Buffalo Bills send me some things to put into a package for him. So I wrote and asked them shortly after he deployed. Unfortunately, I never heard anything from them. I was disappointed, and thought well, things change...maybe teams are not as giving as they used to be.
Jason called my daughter the other day, and told her that his entire brigade received a package from the Seattle Seahawks. Enclosed in the package was a full size 12th man flag, that was autographed by the entire team! What a moral booster! I did not write the Seahawks and ask for this, someone else did, or they just sent it because they were a local brigade. But Seahawks... you ROCK!
I think it is awesome that the Seattle Seahawks support the troops that are fighting to protect our country! Go Seahawks...and go 4th Brigade 2nd Infantry Division, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment and the Stryker Combat Team.!
Thanks for Supporting the Troops, and the Seattle Seahawks!
