Attending the ceremony were a few NFL players. Most notably, Warrick Dunn and....yup....Larry Izzo.

Near the end of the ceremony, Dunn and Izzo started tossing mini footballs to the troops. I felt something hit my kevlar vest near my left shoulder and for half a second I thought someone had taken a shot at me. Looked down next to my boot and there was a Super Bowl ring. Izzos ring slipped off while tossing the footballs and it had hit me. I took a picture of it on my right hand ring finger and walked it back to him. He signed a mini-football right there and gave it to me. Still have it with all my other military memorabilia.

Highlight of that deployment.

If you are a fellow Soldier as myself, I forgive u for being a Dallass Fan for 1 day... Hooah!

If you were in the AF , Fuck u
