Thank America's golfing vets on Memorial Day

Today at the golf course, odds are the veteran you’re playing golf with had to pay the normal green fees just like you (which is a shame).

So I want you people to do what too many golf courses are slow to do: Something nice for our the men and women who have served, or are serving their country in uniform.

You don’t need to salute ‘em and sing “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” Just do a little something to say thanks. Pick up the tab on that beer in the club room. Pay for their bucket of range balls. If you’re at a fancy joint, tip the valet who brings his car before he can do it.

And since I won’t be golfing today (won’t be getting out of the office, in fact) let me just say it here:

THANKS!

PS: Check in later and let us know how it went.

Mark, Thanks for that. As a 20 year veteran, it is much appreciated.

When I see someone in uniform I thank that person for serving our country. Yes, I just walk over and talk to them for a while, ask them where they have been, what they have done.

I hope these men and women realize the valuable roles they play in our nation's present and future.

Great article, Mark!
