Duty to wounded soldiers!

I am a boomer with a reserve honorable discharge, no active duty except for training, I am not a veteran.I feel we have a responsibility to the wounded warriors from this era and others. Health care and rehabilitation is critical. How we treat the wo...unded today may affect the willingness of volunteers in the future. Mabey it is guilt based on how we treated Vietnam era Vets. What do you think?Read More

What a day! I wished I could have personally thanked each person in attendance .

From every possible perspective of Atwood Stadium it looked like everyone was having a great time. Rhonda from Grand Blanc brought her air guitar and jammed with Mark’s every song. Go girl! Locomotion- how can anyone take that sitting down? Great performance by everyone! I appreciate all your positive comments!

This was an incredible feat.

Thanks to everyone for all the help. Sponsors, vendors, VIP caterer, thanks. Security, CSSI from Grand Blanc did an outstanding job!

A local company was initially contacted to provide the sound and stage for this event. However, per Mark Farner’s contract it could not be met locally. But, to set the record straight, that attempt was made.

There is much more to planning an event like this than the poster has knowledge.We have already been contacted regarding making this an annual event. Who should be the next performer at Atwood 2010?
