God Bless America

Sometimes we forget what is the most important things in life are. We all know the fans that claim that they are die-hard and would do anything to see thier team win a championship. But there are more important objectives in life and ways to live life besides living and breathing sports. Yes, sports can give fans a sense of unity and accomplishment, but what about our soliders who are fighting for our country and really a main reason why we are still able to watch these events on television.

One question I always think about is, "What can we do to help these soliders out?" Well sports are something that actually does bring people together from all over the world. It connects us in ways we wouldnt normally think about. An example would be the article written by Ian Begley. Doug Weaver and his brother Jeff are both huge Giants fans. They would usually watch an event like this together but Doug is over in Afghanastan fighting for us. His brother Jeff will actually be at the game in Indy while he is watching with his soliders overseas.

Its great to hear that there can be a little relief for the soliders with a football game. Watching a game of football is something that all of them can hopefully relate to. Doug said, "It's nice to be here and watch the game with fellow soldiers, but it's also nice to sit here and picture what it's like to with family and friends at home," he says.

We cant wait for all the soliders to come home and be able to watch the greatest sporting event in the world. But until then, God Bless America and keep all our soliders safe.

Happy Super Bowl Go Giants.
