It was military tribute day this past week at the Seahawks // Cardinals game and the national anthem sung by none other than big Kenny Loggins [of the Top Gun fame] was one of the coolest moments I’ve had as a sports fan in America. As Loggins sang, the megaton began showing photos of soldiers in Iraq with their 12th Man flags adorning helicopters and their humvees and gave me a sense of pride and respect to those soldiers serving for our country in Iraq and how lucky I was to even be able to watch a football game in peace. Then at “the rockets red glare” a swell of pride came over every single Seahawks fan in the entire stadium as what I’m told were four Chinook Helicopters flew overhead with 12th Man flags attached to the bottom of their hulls. When the anthem was wrapped up the Hawks entered the stadium with Lofa Tatupu running out with the stars and stripes instead of the usual 12th Man flag in respect to our Veterans and active military. It was honestly an amazing intro to the game and all I could do was stand on the sidelines with the biggest smile on my face and enjoying every second of it.
The game started and the place was pumped to have Mr. Matt Hasselback in at QB…
And Deion Branch back in our receiving core!
At one point I looked at the stats and big TJ Duckett had rushed 5 times for 5 years and 2 touchdowns. Talk about making the most of a carry!
Go Hawks!
