On November 22, 2008 the Houston Aeros honored servicemen and women with Military Night. Dillon Cannon of Sugar Land, TX dropped the ceremonial puck for the evening's game against the Worcester Sharks. Prior to the game, Dillon was given a tour of the Toyota Center and an autographed Minnesota Wild jersey. He even managed a picture or two with the Aeros Dynamics!

Dillon, pictured above with his mom Patti, was an Army Military Police stationed in Baquaba, Iraq and sustained injuries while guarding an IED as a result of a sniper bullet. He is a regular attendee during the Impact A Hero weekend and is one of the great heroes we honor and raise funds to help support every year.

Impact A Hero volunteers were also on hand to help raise awareness of the organization and its many benefits for our wounded heroes.

The evening also featured a ceremony for new recruits being sowrn in to the service of our country. We wish them all the best!
