Scott Sturla gave a nice performance of his song “Eight Days,” a tribute to his brother James, a Marine. In 2004, James Sturla was injured by a rocket-propelled grenade on his eighth day in Iraq, but has since recovered. You can check out Sturla’s song here, and if you like it, donate a few bucks to the Injured Marines Fund by picking up the track.

The biggest draw of the day was WWE’s Mr. Kennedy, who came to sign autographs, and was rewarded with a Commander’s Coin for his work. He proudly held that coin out like it was a championship belt.
