This coin was given to me during the Seahawks playoff game Saturday.

She was at the game all by herself and asked us to take a picture of her with an Army Flag. Then she handed this to me Saturday night at the Hawks game in thanks for all our listeners do for the military.

The woman who handed it to me couldn’t tell me what her husband does, or where he is, or when he is coming home, but she did tell me he has been doing it for 22 years. She didn’t take a knee during the national anthem … she openly wept. Because of families like this, we all get to sleep sound tonight. I will treasure this forever.

Hoo ah JSOC operator. Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Come home safe soon. Your wife is waiting and loves those Hawks.
