Last night my husband and I, along with our dear friends Laura and Daine Hart, had the pleasure of attending the JW Marriott Grand Opening, benefiting The Fisher House http://www.fisherhouse.org/ and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund http://fallenheroesfund.org/Home.aspx. (No, we didn't have access to complimentary tickets, however knowing the cost of the tickets we purchased for this event went to benefit these two AMAZING organizations, I can tell you I would pay double to do it all over again tonight.) Kenneth Fisher and Bill White spoke about their organizations and how they help our wounded and fallen heroes, and I encourage everyone to check out their websites. Just truly amazing organizations that are bettering the lives of our wounded heroes and the families of the fallen. It was an inspirational evening. My husband, Bryan, was beyond thrilled to speak and shake hands with General Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (The US military's highest ranking member). We have followed General Myers for years, from his service to our country to watching him on FOX NEWs, and it will be a memory that will last a lifetime, to have spoken with him and his beautiful wife. Okay, so ya, there was also some legendary entertainment!Can you say KENNY ROGERS, WYNONNA JUDD, and JOHN RICH!!! Totally once in a lifetime.
