This Beats Sliced Bread…
Posted by VeRonda Wicks February 13th, 2009Hubby and I were relaxing the other night watching a NBA game. The analysts were, well, analyzing and they mentioned something that I just had to share…
The owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, is known for a lot of things, but this added a whole new take on his character… He has this Seat for Soldiers thing going on. Isn’t that the best thing you’ve heard all week? I’ll explain… Apparently, men and women of the Armed Services can enjoy a Mavericks’ game (premium seating and all) on Cuban.
I think this is awesome. We add “awesome” to a lot of things that, really, aren’t truly awesome… This, this is awesome. If you ask a serviceperson what he or she would want (of course, outside of a job waiting for them once they’ve served) the answer would be just to get their mind off what they’ve seen… separation, death, nightmares, whatever you can imagine.
I give Cuban mad props for this endeavor… It’s the best use of money and presige that I’ve seen all year.

We’re full on Mavs fans around here so we usually are on Cuban’s side. This time we don’t have to argue with anyone about it
What a fabulous idea

Kudos to Mark Cuban. Maybe others will follow his example. Having a son in the Armed Forces, I can really appreciate such a gesture.

That’s what makes a true leader!

Joanna (sing along) I, love you… I know you must’ve gotten that a lot. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I agree, no reason to argue this time. LOL!
Talon… That was my hope, you know, that others would follow his endeavor. Much success for your son. Thanks for your visit!
Hat Chick! You’ve hit it right on the head… It’s funny if people knew what really made a true leader. Stop by again soon.

I would like to see more players join this program. It would be great if there was an effort to treat the troops to more things like this.

That is a class act! Anything we can do for our troops is a step in the right direction.
Yes, for sure way better than sliced bread, altho I do like that an awful lot too, with heaps of butter. Yum.

Trey!… I know, I know. I hope the word gets out about this effort. They need every stress reliever possible.
Hey Jannie… Wow! I am in total agreement. LOL! I am a carbs freak.
Yes, John, it is way overdue… more of the same, I say.
