A special salute by Thunder

Kudos to fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder for their support of our men and women in the military.

The team held Military Appreciation Night on Wednesday for the game against the Washington Wizards. The invocation was delivered by a military chaplain. The honorary captains and game ball presenters were the children of parents on active duty. Fans were given the opportunity to buy Thunder gear and souvenirs to be sent in a military care package.

And, team sponsors and season-ticket holders were asked to donate their seats so active members of the armed forces could use them – about 1,800 tickets were made available. Well done by all involved.
