US - Showing our gratitude to our troops

Here's how.

ANAHEIM - Roy Hoyt wasn't asking for anything when he decided to treat wounded Marines to a limo ride, Angels game and lunch.

The Orange resident, a Marine veteran, just wanted to give back, but everyone he approached about the idea wanted to contribute, too.

When he went to buy tickets, team employees handed them over at no charge. The team threw in the Diamond Club lunch. When Hoyt booked a limo, Allways 24-Seven Transportation charged nothing for a Humvee trip from Camp Pendleton to Angel Stadium.

And when the Marines showed up in the stands, a fan offered to buy them all a beer.
