Scott's View: Father's Day, Miami Heat, & San Antonio Spurs all Have Meaning for Vets

June 12, 2013

Scott's View

With Father's Day next Sunday, consider purchasing products and services from great Veterans Advantage partners like Apple, Dell and Verizon Wireless for high-tech, Coleman for camping, and United airlines for your travel.

Military service is front and center in this year's NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. We have designated the Heat's Dwyane Wade a VetFamily. Inspired by an Army Vet father, Dwyane is a dedicated and conscientious Dad to his two sons. The Spur's have their own sense of military linkage through their head coach Gregg Popovich, an Air Force Academy graduate and veteran, and now a Veterans Advantage TopVet. So no matter who wins, it's a win/win for vets!
