veterans day

I'm thankful to all those who have served and continue to serve and do the things that I'm not willing to do for our freedom and safety. They sacrifice so that I can do the nonsense that I do and I'm eternally grateful for that.

I'm glad the Notre Dame lost to Navy this past weekend because it gives those Navy guys something more to celebrate on this day. There is no way that Navy should ever beat ND, especially in their house and doing it the last 2 times there!!!

But it shows what our Navy is made of. They're undersized, not as athletic, not as fast, but they stick together, never break composure and execute flawlessly. They never back down... That was a hell of a victory for the Naval Academy last Saturday. Watching them play like that against Notre Dame makes me proud to be a citizen...
