While attending the opening round of the World's Largest Golf Outing for The Wounded Warriors Project Monday, August 3 at Forest Hills Country Club, I felt a sense of pride, and comfort knowing we were a part of something special.

It was a day filled with patriotism, pride, admiration and appreciation. As a Vet was returning to his golf cart after giving a heart felt welcome speech, a golfer captured the essence of the day with a simple "Thank you for your service" shout out which brought on applause.

It was a perfect way to enjoy a sunny day in the Stateline.
