Military Appreciations Night with the Spurs!

This weekend was great. Andy and I were able to go to a Spurs game. USAA, our insurance company, gave us 2 free tickets to watch the Spurs play the Timber Wolves. We also got free shirts. We picked up a couple balloon clappers on the way out. We thought the boys would like them. We were right! They were the first thing Bradley found Sunday morning!! It was refreshing to get out together and to top it off the Spurs won! During half time Collin Raye sang for us. I posted his song below. I don't know if it is just because Andy is in the Air Force or not, but I get a little misty when they would talk about the men and women in the service or when they would play patriotic songs. Anywho, I really liked the song so I thought I would share it with you all!

Ya just can't beat a free shirt!

"A Soldier's Pray"

Brad & Darcy Ellis said...: I don't think it is just because Andy is in the Air Force now cause that made me a bit misty too. I don't think I have heard that one yet and I definitely haven't seen the video...wow. That is powerful. How fun that you got to go to the game AND see Collin Raye!!; January 16, 2008 at 12:47 AM
Jill said...: That's awesome that you got to go to the Spurs' game for free! I'm glad they one too. Go Spurs Go!

I really enjoyed the video you posted. I am always touched by patriotic songs as well. My brother is in the military and videos like Collin Raye's get me every time.; January 16, 2008 at 1:04 AM
