    I’d really like the “rest of the story” on ” Two soldiers decided to officially reenlist for military duty at the show.” Did USGIF go looking for them for this spectacle? Is this appropriate at such an event?

    Roger, this was a completely un-planned event and had nothing to do with USGIF pulling off a spectacle. The Foundation was not alerted to the reenlisting ceremony until the day before it happened. We realized that it was a great story and worthy of sharing on the blog — no “rest of the story” involved here.
