Despite what everyone says, we say, Mark Cuban is a class act! Right now we are watching the Mavericks play Detroit at the American Airlines Center. Every front row seat in the arena is occupied by a US soldier wounded in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. Mark Cuban, owner of the Mavs, has paid to transport each of them to the game. The Mavericks season ticketholders donated their front row seats. Immediately after the game, the entire Mavs team will host a party for these 'celebrated' guests on the floor of the arena.

And, surprisingly, we can't find a thing reported anywhere on the web about this generous gesture on the part of Cuban and the Dallas ticketholders. Most noteworthy to us however is the visualization of what an immense toll this war is taking on our young people.

Way to go, Mark and Dallas. Class acts. And kudos to our war heroes - each and every one of them.
