Salute to American Heroes -- National TV Sales and Rental November 1, 2008

A crowd of close to 1,000 recently gathered in Lebanon, Missouri to honor heroes at home and abroad at National TV Sales and Rental's "Salute to American Heroes" event. The idea for the event, which drew local "first responders" and members of the Missouri National Guard, U.S. Army, sheriff's, police and fire departments, EMTs and state representative Darrell Pollock, first originated with Jeremy Powell an account manager at National TV who also served in the armed forces.
