I heard part of this story on the radio coming home from work. I searched and found the whole thing on the Brewer’s web site.

Brewers starter Jeff Suppan is doing even more this season to throw his support behind United States military personnel.

The right-hander on Monday helped introduce Soup’s Troops, a partnership with the team and the USO of Wisconsin to benefit the men and women of the U.S. military during the final 75 Brewers home games at Miller Park. The Brewers will donate four field-level seats to active members of the military and to families of fallen soldiers, and Suppan and his wife, Dana, will pick up the tab for $200 of concessions and merchandise vouchers for each group.

“We are truly thankful and have tremendous respect for all of the heroic efforts demonstrated by our active military, veterans and their families,” Suppan said. “Their services and sacrifices are an inspiration, and we all benefit from their dedication to our country.”

The Soup’s Troops program comes in addition to Suppan’s other community efforts, for which he was honored last season as the Brewers’ nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. He also has pledged $100 for every strikeout to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, an organization which benefits families of U.S. military personnel killed in action, and Brewers Charities matches each $100 gift.

Suppan and the Brewers deserve to be acknowledged for initiating this very generous program. This is how you support the troops.
