Local Marine Veteran Selected As Super Bowl Honorary Captain!

In a year full of chaos and uncertainty, this is one story that will have you believing in humanity once again.

James Martin, a local veteran, received a call recently from former Pittsburgh Steeler Jerome Bettis saying that he will be one of three people being honored at the "Big Game" Sunday by participating in the coin toss for all of the good things that he has been doing in the community!

Helping to keep veterans connected with the Wounded Warrior Project and Veterans Breakfast Club, James recently said in an interview that he is, "..absolutely astonished, humbled and surprised," with the opportunity that he has been given.

The Y'd Awake Morning Show will be talking more to James on Friday morning, but right now you can listen to what he had to say about the phone call he received from "The Bus"!

We can't wait to see you at the "Big Game" on Sunday James!
