Cat Country Salutes A Hometown Hero

You have one week left to nominate your friends or family members in our NILE Rodeo "Cat Salutes Soldiers" Contest.  Check out this amazing entry from Daryl Guffey.

My father served in the height of Vietnam. Even after shrapnel injury and a bullet wound, he stayed to continue to serve his country. He has two Purple Hearts, three Bronze Stars, a Silver Star, a Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm Unit Citation Badge, an expert badge with rifle bar, and a sharpshooter badge with machine bar. He is 100% disabled now from the war, but he never lets it show. He is an amazing father to 9 children ( only 4 are biological) and a PaPa to 24 grandchildren.

Thanks for Daryl for sending in that incredible story and to Daryl's father for his courage, bravery and sacrifice.

If you have a friend or family member who is currently serving, or has served, in the United States Armed Forces, we'd love to salute them.  Here's the link to send in their story.  http://catcountry1029.com/cat-country-salutes-our-soldiers-nominate-your-soldier-today/

Next week, we'll randomly select 3 winning entries.  They'll each receive 4 VIP level tickets for the Wrangler Patriot Night at the NILE on Saturday, October 18th.  Plus, they'll be recognized for their service during the rodeo.  And one grand prize winner will also receive free dinner for 4 at The Rex.
