Linda and the United States Military

On this day where we honor our veterans and active duty military personnel, I wanted to take some time to touch on Linda McMahon's devotion, admiration, respect and appreciation to the men and women who defend our freedom with honor, bravery and integrity.  While Memorial Day is not an event to be publicized, commercialized or demoralized, many find it convenient to hold sales during the days leading up to this important day in history.  Linda McMahon's devotion the United States military cannot be questioned, all who would dare would be proven wrong in an instant.  Aside from the fact that each and every year for the last several years, World Wrestling Entertainment has put on an entertainment offering to the men and women in uniform overseas, aptly named "Tribute to the Troops" in which men and women gladly trade the glitz and glamor of a lifestyle in the United States for a volunteer performance in a land much less comfortable than they're own.  They do it because they genuinely have respect for our troops and there is nothing fake or staged about that.  Traveling about 24 hours in a cramped jet, they wait with anxious anticipation to see the gratitude of the US Military, but it they who are grateful to them.  Perhaps with the exception of Wrestlemania, at no point in time do professional wrestlers look forward more to performing than at Tribute to the Troops.  It is also a policy to allow active duty military personnel to have free tickets with they're military ID at events that are not sold out and at WrestleMania.  I do not know of any other form of entertainment that supports the military more.  There are some that offer military discounts, but WWE goes the extra mile and gives it to them for free, and why shouldn't they?  Everybody knows that even a small token of appreciation is not enough to compensate the men and women of the United States Armed Services for they're duty.  They don't get paid enough and they don't do it for the money, they do it because they families and friends who are proud of them, admire them, respect them and support them in every way they can.  It just goes to show that individuals are better at supporting the military than the Federal Government, the VA hospital being the best example of that.  I have heard heartbreaking stories of substandard equipment for our military and how parents of soldiers were spending large amounts of money on equipment the Federal government was not providing them with.  Few entertainment organizations support the US Military like World Wrestling Entertainment and the McMahon family.  So while you celebrate the day with your loved ones, remember why you can have those barbecues, drink that beer, attend those parades and be proud when you wave that American flag because men and women are dying overseas so that you can have the right to live your life the way you want to. Be with your family and friends and remember the soldier that has left his family and friends behind to pursue a cause greater than themselves.  Have a very safe and very Happy Memorial Day.
