November 14, 2005 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release


Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that the website for ABA Salute - www.abasalute.com - that pays tribute to the U.S. Military - has received the Distinguished Military Site Award from the editors of www.military.com. The site has been recognized for its efforts to connect, inform and honor the military community and as an award winner, ABA Salute has been given access to some of the best tools and content from military.com.

According to Jennifer Hester, ABA Salute Coordinator, "We are very honored to have been given this award. ABA Salute is a new program and it is exciting to know that we have made such an impact already. Providing support to our military is what we are all about and any contribution we can make to recognize the tremendous sacrifices being made by our armed forces and their families is important."

"Jennifer and her husband Todd, a U.S. Marine Master Sergeant, were responsible for developing the ABA Salute website," said Joe Newman, ABA CEO, "and they are to be commended for doing an outstanding job. The ABA's commitment to our military is a serious commitment. Our goal is not only to raise money for scholarships but to show our unwavering support for them on an ongoing basis and we will use the ABA reach to do just that."

Mrs. Hester concluded, "We hope all Americans will join with us to honor our servicemen and women by wearing ABA Salute shirts, jackets, hats and other apparel and giving a little salute when they see a man or woman in uniform. And of course, thank you military.com for honoring us with this award."
