Happy Veterans Day

 

Today is the special day that we give thanks to all the great veterans that are brave enough to serve our country. Without them, Will and I wouldn't have this fantastic blog. We should remember those serving our country every day, but this is one of my favorite days of the year.

Right before kickoff, the Georgia Dome public address announcer broke the news that the U.S. just bombed Afghanistan and then the announcer asked every veteran to stand up. The rest of the fans in the Georgia Dome gave a reaction that I will never forget for the rest of my life. We salute people like my guys Mark Alfers, Dave Bell and Brendan Ryan that are brave enough to be currently protecting our country.
