Good Morning, CatMom! I think you and I are "holding down the fort!" :-)
Greetings All!

Blessed Sunday!

and wait in expectation."
Psalm 5:3
Good Morning!
For those attending PIR, do you have a military member in your group who will be dressed in military uniform? If so, there is a chance that you and your military member may be offered seating in the VIP section of the bleachers. This is by invitation only once you arrive at PIR Hall. The catch is this: They want the group to look sharp and therefore will eliminate any families if a member is in jeans, dressed casually, etc. They are looking for sharp dressers and especially those in military uniform.
Just a heads up that if you want to be considered for the VIP section of seating, consider dressing for PIR in "sharp" form! It is not only families with a military member in uniform that they are looking for....because they like for this section to be "full", they may also select families dressed sharply, but who don't have a military member with them. We understand that there is good viewing from these seats....so consider this when you decide what to wear for PIR!
