Wake Forest - Army Tickets

There's a big military hospital (Womack) at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, which is about 100 miles from Winston-Salem. A large number of GIs wounded in Iraq are treated or rehab there. They also have a "Warrior Transition Battalion" for wounded who are no longer in-patients but who will not be returning to regular duty and will eventually be discharged from the army.

If you are a Husker fan who bought Wake Forest season tickets please consider mailing your Wake Forest - Army game tickets to be donated to the troops. I spoke to Shannon Lynch at Ft. Bragg on August 30th and they have received around 25 tickets so far. Let's see if we can do better than that.

Here's the mailing address (use all CAPS):

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
WAMC A ATTN: PAO OFFICE
2817 REILLY ROAD
MCXC PR
FT. BRAGG, NC 28310.

They did say they'd be happy to receive all the tickets we won't be using, not just the Army game.

So, before it slips your mind, unless you have a better use for them, please get those tickets in the mail to Womack. Thanks.

If you do mail tickets please let me know so we can add to the total. Here are the responses received so far.

Here are news stories about the ticket donations.
