Sheldon completed his initial enlistment contract after six years in the Army Reserve.

Sgt. Bob Timney brings the Sound!

Congratulations to our very own, Sgt. Bob Timney, for a fantastic job singing the National Anthem at the opening of the Pittsburgh Penguins playoff on Wednesday. What made his performance special is that part way through the song he lifted the microphone and welcomed 18,000 fans to sing along with him.

Timney was asked to perform again tonight. If you get a chance, please turn on your TVs and take a look!
