Honoring some real heroes

March

The Yankees just had three wounded Iraq vets throw out the first pitch.

Johnny Damon, the national spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project, was out there with Petty Officer 3rd Class Robert Roeder, Cpt. Jon Pruden and Sgt. Jace Badia. The crowd gave them a standing ovation.

Check out the web site for Wounded Warrior. Those people are doing great work and it’s commendable of Johnny to spend the time he does promoting it.

Peter,

fyi-
The Wounded Warrior link has a typo (”r” instead of “d” at the end of wounded)

Thanks for the great blog. I read it everyday.

I served 12 years in the US Army and I’m also a disabled veteran. It’s great to see Damon take such a personal interest in this project.
