I'd venture to guess there are many, many others like him that we never hear about.
Please tell him I said Thank You next time you see him.

There certainly are a lot of people out there like him.

You both have heard about Sears, right? They pick up the difference between military pay and their Sears pay while a Reservist or Guardsman is deployed.

And one of the big steak chains...was it The Outback?...flew steak dinners to Afghanistan. Those are two high profile supporters.

But Hondo, the flip side is also true. It's easy to say I support you. It's a different matter entirely to put those words into action. Maybe we can help change that, in our own corner of the country, in our own way.

A team of 15 people from the company traveled to Kandahar, Afghanistan, and served steaks, grilled shrimp, baked potatoes, French fries and “bloomin' onions” to say thanks to the military members there.
