On March 3, 2011 the Good Ol Boys, their sponsors and supporters along with a strong contingent of volunteers will host the 7th Annual Good Ol Boy BBQ Honoring America's Wounded Warriors.

We wish we could invite all of 2cool but limitations for space just won't allow us to do that. However, we invite you all to turn on your computer or your PDA and listen to the broadcast presented LIVE by ESPN The ZONe beginning at 3pm CST. You can access the broadcast here:
http://www.1250zone.com/

and click on the "LISTEN LIVE" button on the upper right side of the webpage. I think you'll enjoy what you hear and will be surprised by the guests who will be in attendance. We would like to thank all of 2cool for your support, your donations and your participation in everything the Good Ol Boys do.

Now for a Message from the Chairman of the Good Ol Boys
For each event that the Good ol'boys put on I have a hat made up, (Brad does an awesome job helping me with this). For each event I put a different persons initials or name on the hat, so when people get the hats and ask about them we can tell them why these people are so special.

In past years I've put:
huntr4life (Scott) dad's initials on a hat, he passed away last Dec. he was a Marine and always was very supportive of our events, Scott had no idea I did this until the day of the event, and when I gave him his hat he had to do a double take then relized what I had done.

For this years hunt in Dec., I put "Tortuga" on the hat, to say Jim supports us is an understatement
, I should have put his name on the front of the hat


For the BAMC BBQ hat, I read this story on 2cool and it really stayed wih me, its very typical of the stories that many of our returning troops face:

I sent Roger a PM back in Jan:
I would like your permission to put "Jake" on the side of this years BAMC BBQ event hat, in honor of your son and to remind us and everyone that sometimes the battle doesn't end when you step off the field. Let me know your thoughts.

Roger replied that he and his wife would be honored, and are planning on attending and bringing Jakes daughter.

this is going to be fun. I stopped by the Warrior Family Support Center today. They are looking forward to having us again this year. ESPN Radio stopped by to check and make sure all communication lines worked for broadcast. Thursday is just around the corner.

for anyone spending the night after the event I would recommend trying to get a room in the downtown area near the riverwalk and Alamo. You don't have to spend a fortune either. Try this as a possible option:

it's about a half-mile from the Alamo and right now because of the dates the Alamo re-enactments are going on and it's a neat thing to see.
just an option if you're going to stay overnight.

ALL coming to say thank you to the men and women who defend this nation and stand the wall so that we, as a nation remain Free.

and of course the volunteers who've posted here already and who offered their time, their help to pull this off and make this, our 7th Annual BBQ Honoring America's Wounded Warriors another success!

I know many of you can't make it. I also know AM 1250 may not broadcast a strong enough signal for you to listen to the event.

So - At 3:00PM CST go on the internet and look up http://www.1250zone.com/ Click on the "Listen Live" logo on the upper right side of that web page and you'll be able to hear much of what we're doing.

We thank you, all of you, who've donated, volunteered your tme and provided us with the opportunity to do this again. For the Good Ol' Boys this is a labor of love and we'll do it every year for as long as there's a Warrior Family Support Center, for as long as this nations warriors are there - we'll be there too.

one more thing all of you need to know - CiCi's Pizza sponsored the ESPN broadcast yesterday, by doing so they guaranteed that ESPN would be there - that the time wouldn't be bought by someone and keep them from coming again. In addition, CiCi's is working with the Warrior Family Support Center to provide pizza from time to time to the WFSC and the troops that are there. Their sponsorship didn't come cheap, their generosity to the WFSC came from the heart. That's one fine family, and frankly CiCi's is one of the better pizza restaurants I enjoy going to, besides very good pizza (including take out) they have great salads, pasta and desserts.
