The awesome seats are the closest to the 'dirt' for a great view of the professional Rodeo and star entertainer, Gary Allan.   A second set of seats have been purchased in section 520, 521 and 522.  We are also appreciative of the season seats that are donated by friends and associates.

Do troops wear their military uniforms?
Yes, please, both for suites and family section. See photos and slideshow of 2008.  To have the greatest opportunity to express our appreciation and respect, not only from the donor Friends, but from the thousands that will meet and greet you, we ask that all active duty and reservist wear their uniform. Please check with your POC to confirm your branch uniform of choice.

Who is the Event Founder and Coordinator?
The Event Founder and Coordinator is Robin Young-Ellis.   With the generous support and contribution of private Donor Friends, 2009 Salute to Our Troops (Houston Texas) remains a private event.  See 2008 Donor Friends.  

We work closely with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which has been most helpful and generous with all details, assistance and provisions.
