CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo is going to donate $100 for every strikeout to Homes For Our Troops, an organization that provides homes at no cost to injured or disabled servicemen and servicewomen and their immediate families.
As part of the Homes For Our Troops program, one local serviceman or servicewoman will be selected as the recipient of a new home.
Arroyo's contributions through his Strikeouts For Our Troops program will be donated to the general fund of Homes For Our Troops, which also features the Birdies For The Brave campaign of PGA golfer Phil Mickelson.

Go Arroyo!!!!! Support the Troops!
That is OK. :-) The thanks go to the troops followed by people like Arroyo — not me for posting.
Excellent .. he and Mickelson should get more attention (and credit). Too much focus on the bad boys of sports.
Happy Memorial Day and a hearty thank you to all our troops, past, present and future. God Bless America !!
Maybe you could ping the OH FReepers? It’s a slow weekend, but this is news that should get around.
