I’m wondering how to get these invitations. My husband is active duty Marine Corps...been to Iraq 3 times. I’m also an Army Veteran. I would be honored to attend the ball that honors military personnel. I think it’s awesome that people remember us. If there’s any way my husband and I can get tickets, I’d be forever grateful!

Thank you!

The inaugural ball at the Old Post Office Pavillion had to be cancelled due to presidential needs for the building (the Secret Service has to stash equipment there). You can see Chuck Brown at City Hall for $51 or the Clones of Funk (9 pm to midnight) at The Scene, 2221 Adams Place NE for $25 cover charge.
