Name: Salute the Badge 01 18 08 Description: BKTX4 San Antonio chapter members attended the Salute the Badge - Rampage Hockey night. I want to let everyone know who couldn’t make it—you missed a good time! JR did an awesome job getting the Blue Knights tickets where we could all sit together, the game was exciting (even though I still don’t understand it) and there was a cool fight! It was a special evening with a tribute to all the law enforcement and firefighters in the area who have lost their lives in the line of duty (from the 1800’s to present). The Rampage wore a special jersey last night which also paid tribute to law enforcement and firefighters and we were given the opportunity to interact with some of the players after game. By the way…does anyone know of, or could help me with, developing a strategy (dubious or otherwise will suffice) for winning a tug-of-war on ice? Simply put—I saw something last night I don’t believe we should allow to happen next year!Revenge is a dish best served…cold. Ron STINKY Davidson, BKTXIV Treasure
