It istn't all ere yet, so I am really wanting to wait till I have it all together ! he has me overly excited about it! SOOOOOO work in progress!

Edit: What can be said about this?!?! My 300 Santa and I kept in constant contact both during and after my amazing gift. We actually have quite a bit in common!

My amazing Santa Megan, arranged for the hands down, best gift someone could have given me. She knew I am Nashville Predators fan (season tic holder--yeah baby!) and that I have recently lost my husband of 25 years. He was active duty Army for 26 years.

Megan actually contacted our fantastic organization and arranged a "Memorial" Military Salute for my husband. For those who are not familiar, during every home game, The Preds do a military salute where they honor a service member by highlighting their career with photos and awards on the jumbotron while the entire arena sings Lee Greenwood Proud to be an American. It is something that is really amazing to be a part of.

Megan had previously asked me about my husbands career, and for some pictures telling me she wanted to include him in my "300 gift". I had no clue what she had planned! It wasn't until about a week before the game did I know what was going on!

About 2 1/2 years ago, the Preds did their first ever "dual" military salute. It was for my husband and our son, who had served and deployed together. It was one of my proudest moments ever! I never thought that just a short time later they would do another, but this time it would be in memory of my husband. I was so overwhelmed I could hardly stand through the presentation! On top of all that, I was even given a brand new jersey!

Thank you Megan, this was so much more than just a gift! It was so amazing for me and my family, and we will hold it close to our heart forever!

oh yeah...it didn't hurt that Lee Greenwood was actually at the game that night and gave us a personal shout out, right before he sang Proud to be an American live!!
