The Military Warriors Support Foundation (MWSF) has partnered with multiple organizations to honor the wounded warriors and the military during nearly a week long series of events. Currently planned in support of the May 16th Armed Forces Day, are events such as the kickoff to the week---May 13th MWSF’s 2nd annual “Night to Honor the Heroes”. The evening features the honoring of 100 wounded warriors, spouses and guests of the warriors. Country and Western Superstar Clay Walker will perform, Texas Governor Rick Perry will speak and Dan Nevins formally of the PGA community outreach program will keynote. This event will be held in partnership with the PGA’s- Texas Valero Open and corporate sponsors such as Valero and the San Antonio Spurs Sports and Entertainment and the Texas style famous Rudy’s BBQ. During the tournament week May 14th thru the 17th the MWSF will partner with Humana Military in having the warriors in the 18th green skybox, an air conditioned environment suited to host 100 wounded warriors and their families in the “BEST” seats in the house. The skybox will have catered in all day food and drinks, and feature drop in visits from top PGA tour players as well as local and national dignitaries to say thanks to these wounded Heroes and their families. Many of the spouses will be treated to well deserved spas, facials and pedicures while on site during the day.
MWSF has also partnered in bringing military equipment and presence in all shapes and forms to the tourney. Through the gracious efforts of the La Cantera resort all types of equipment will be on hand from Helicopters to Hummers. Currently planned is a repelled military helicopter drop in of the championship trophy to the winner of the 2009 event. As a side note, through the efforts of USAA and the Valero Texas Open all military active duty will be able to get in free all four days. USAA will be hosting a tent for active duty military for free drinks and food as well. All in all this event promises to grow in size and scope as the event builds the military pillar through community involvement.
