What a trip! What a trip!!! I can’t imagine a better way to send off soldiers to war by having them spend a day in NYC. We were treated like royalty. I felt so appreciated by so many people it was nothing short of a morale miracle. The whole unit was so energized by it. Hats off to the SGM for making it happen. I can’t tell you how many times I was thanked for my service and the benefits we were given just because we wear this uniform. I tell you what, I have no problem wearing this uniform for the next several years if this is how I get treated in such a big city. I think the climax of the day was the Broadway production Spamalot. What a play! What a performance! Not only that, but during the play, they made tribute to us during an improvised portion of the show. We were also able to go up on stage after the show was over and meet all the actors and get our pictures with them and on Broadway. We were also allowed to exit the theater stage left, STAGE LEFT ON BROADWAY! How cool is that? All of you that didn’t get to go should be jealous All of those who read this and haven’t been to a show on Broadway, should go and see one as soon as they can. It will not be an experience soon forgotten. I would also suggest that you should visit the Roxy Deli during this trip. Their sandwiches are legendary for their size. They were taller than my glass, they were so big. All in all, I could not ask for a better trip for me and my soldiers. Thanks again to the SGM working so hard to coordinate it all.
