Good day at work

Some days at work are good. Days when the lead story isn't a deadly fire or a missing child.

Today was a good day. About a week ago I ran across a story on the Associated Press about three guys touring professional football stadiums in honor of a fallen soldier. I found their website and was able to get in contact with one of the guys. It happened they were going to be in St. Louis this weekend.

So this morning Teresa my anchor did a live interview with the three guys outside their RV. And after the show she did a more in-depth interview for a package we are going to run tomorrow morning before they tailgate at the Rams game.

The guys Nate, Nolan and Aaron tailgate before every game to raise money for families of fallen soldiers. But they do not have a cooperate sponsor for this tour, so they are always trying to get people to help pay for the tailgates, places to park the RV and home cooked meals. They even bought all tickets to the football games.

But GUESS WHAT!!!

The owner of the Rams was watching this morning, yeah a viewer! And decided to invite the guys down on the field before the game and honor them. They are getting signed jersey's and sitting down on the field. I hope they have a blast.
