Hometown Hero

Here is a little cool thing I’m able to do once a year.

The company I work for, First Generation, sponsors a moment during Lehigh Valley Phantoms hockey games, when they honor someone who has served in the military. Last Friday I had the honor to co-present the Phantoms jersey to Hometown Hero Navy First Class Petty Officer Dominic Aliquo at the Phantoms-Bridgeport Sound Tigers game at the PPL Center. Mr. Aliquo is 91 years old and served in World War II. He was a wonderful, warm, humble person, and it was truly a privilege to stand next to him. Here are some photos, and a behind the scenes video Max shot as we walked through the bowels of the arena and then out onto the ice.
