Good point, Donkey.
Well, Veteran's love sports, so here's something: Melky Cabrera has made quite an impression on the New England area.
Im not big on being told what to do and when to do it, but this sure seems like a decent enough idea to me.
Sometime over the weekend show a sign of solidarity to our soldiers past and present with a moment of silence, or any other way that you see fit.

...and once again. Have a nice weekend. The invite is still open to the Beer-B-Q at Flys.
I am going to march with my Brownie troop tomorrow in the parade. We should show some appreciation for those that have served.
