Go Guard

So there I am on the sidelines of the football game between two small rural schools. In conversation with a fan, I hear that the woman who was also prowling the sidelines with a camera was in fact a quite generous benefactor.

She thought that her local public school needed a football team. She discussed it with the school and found out that money was the issue. So she donated it.

All.

Everything the school needed for player equipment and game-day stuff.

Oh, and one more thing ... she gave the school that $20,000 check just before deploying to Iraq again.

That's right. National Guard.

For serving her country and community, for giving back when no one expected it, for going above and beyond:

Hoo-ah.
