Give it up for the Azul!!

Huge thanks to the Ambassador of Fan Relations at the LA Dodgers! I can't say they've done anything officially and I don't want to violate any MLB rules or anything like that, but at least someone in the LA sports community has responded to this blog. They sent me an address that I have to contact, and it might be just another line of bureacracy, but it's a great start. Thanks again sir, not sure if I can mention you by name yet :)

This would be incredible. I know that the Dodgers already have individual appreciation nights for the different military branches, as well as community nights for the diverse cultures that make up the LA area, so having an event at Dodger Stadium would be awesome. I hope this one finally works out!

VA workers are cashing in

Wow, this is ridiculous. Vets are waiting on disability checks and the VA workers are cashing monster bonuses?

Bruce Rossmeyer

I just found out that Harley Davidson dealer, enthusiast, mogul Bruce Rossmeyer died this past weekend. While I myself am not a Harley rider, it's always a tragedy to know that another rider has been killed on the road. My dad has been active in the community for many years, and I know from him that Mr. Rossmeyer was huge in the Harley world, and has been involved in a lot of events like the one I'm trying to put together. RIP sir.
