    I hope everyone had a great Veteran's Day. Are there any Veterans here in the blog?? I think we need to treat everyday like Veteran's Day. No matter who you are, America is the greatest country in the world thanks to those who have served and serving now. THANKS!!!

    Would like to extend a big thanks to all the veterans on this special day.

    +1 for me also. But did you know that the soldiers that guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier serve for only 2 years and can never swear or consume alcohol for their entire lives or give up a special medal that is given to them upon completion of their service at the Tomb. Furthermore, when they first start, they cannot leave the barracks under the Tomb for 6 months, with no  TV and must dedicate their time  off to study and memorizing the names of all 172 notables buried there so that they can name them to anyone  who asks. The Tomb has been guarded uninterrupted since 1939 and has never been without guards on duty 24-7, including when a hurricane aftermath went thru the area.

    I've heard that about the tomb. I've actually had the opportunity of being there during the changing of the guards. It's amazing everything that goes into doing that. It's an amazing sight.

    Great job Grumpy on remembering...without those in the armed forces we wouldn't have the safety and security we have to enjoy the game of golf...

    Thank you Veterans...
