We’re going to reflect about our Independence, about being an American in the 21st century, while also looking back on our recent war history, the events now in the Middle East, and also a 100 year anniversary that has meaning today, while also remembering those who have – MOST RECENTLY -- made the ultimate sacrifice and those who are still making it today.

We’ll also talk about a big celebrity golf event for our men and women who have served and are now struggling.  It is the Scarlet and Gold Tournament for Hope for the Warriors.  That’s coming up in September at River Landing in Wallace, North Carolina.
