Pretty cool that for Memorial Day the Papago Park G.C. in Phoenix (where I hit balls each weekend) decked their chipping area and putting green out with American flags. I told the guy at the pro shop desk that it was a nice gesture – something I’d bet that few people anymore would appreciate. Told him that those of us who do and would are nothing more than dinosaurs roaming the earth. That in ten, twenty years no one will give a shit.

A touching video that exemplifies everything this day is.

I will observe this day cherishing the memory of my brother Mark and all those who have died in the service of our country, whether it be as a direct result of action on the battlefield, or from the scars that resulted and chased them down thereafter until they couldn’t live with it anymore.

God bless you all.
