For all of the stories out there about scalpers, attention-seekers, crooks, etc, it is always nice when a story like this comes across the wire.  Brad Buell, who has been a season ticket holder for 10 years now, is donating his NFC Championship Game tickets to six highly-decorated an/or wounded military veterans.

"These veterans are doing something that I think 99 percent of people out there won’t do," Buell said. "They run into harm’s way when everyone else is running away."

Good for you, Mr. Buell.  Acts of this nature occur all too infrequently, and we applaud your selflessness.
