A Salute To Our Fallen Heroes

This Memorial Day I am reminded of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I wear this quote on the back of my favorite Fight News Unlimited T-shirt, and I truly believe in what it says.

 

Although I graduated from military school and attended The Air Force Academy, Virginia Military Institute and Norwich University (klase sa 1999), I did not enter military service, but I did gain a great appreciation for those who did choose that path. One of my fellow Norwich alumni who was on my boxing team always enters my thoughts when I think of those who did make that bold choice to serve their country in a time of war.

 

Captain Anthony Palermo was a true hero, and he is sorely missed by his friends and family. For Tony and all the others who laid down their lives for us, we salute you today and vow that we WILL NEVER FORGET your sacrifice and the impact you made on our lives while you were here and even after you are gone as we remember the better days and smile. Here is a tribute I gave to Tony at a Battle of the Badges event a few years ago. To learn more about Tony, Click Here.

“Ako andam alang sa niini nga away,” Miingon Dirrell. “I’m so happy and honored to be fighting on NBC for a world title against a worthy opponent in James DeGale.”

“We are almost there, sa Mayo 23 it’s my time to make history as the first Briton to win an Olympic gold medal and a world title,” said DeGale. “I’m excited about coming to the U.S for this fight, Boston is a great city and I will be bringing plenty of support from the UK. It’s been a frustrating period waiting for my shot but now it’s here and no one is taking it away from me.”

“I’m thrilled to bring Premier Boxing Champions to the Agganis Arena at Boston University on Mayo 23,” miingon Lou DiBella, Presidente sa DiBella Entertainment. “Holiday fireworks will begin Sabado afternoon when America’s skilled technician and Olympic bronze medalist Andre Dirrell takes on Britain’s Olympic gold medalist James DeGale for the world super middleweight championship.
