This week’s memo is my annual special message for Memorial Day.

In memorium. In memory of. Remembrance.


All words that signify and define the word, “memorial.”


I can’t imaging what it would have felt like on June 6, 1944.


To be 21 years old, standing on a Navy ship, and set to be on a landing party to the beaches in Normandy. The odds said that you’d be a casualty and you knew it.

The chill of the wind and the rain in the Atlantic just off the shore of France, and far away from wherever you hailed from.


By the time the fighting was over, there would be 4,414 confirmed dead, and over 10,000 casualties. That scene I describe can certainly be played out over centuries. Men and women facing certain death, yet risking all for country.


My dad spent 30 years in the Navy and served in World War II. He wasn’t at Normandy, but was at the North African Invasion and of course survived the war.


He was always quick to point out that Memorial Day was not the day to honor those that served, but those that died. Those that gave the greatest sacrifice.


Veterans Day is the day to honor all who served and serve. Memorial Day is the day to honor the fallen.


I’ve never forgotten that.


Memorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor the dead. During the first national celebration on May 30, 1868, former Union General and sitting Ohio Congressman (and future President of the United States) James Garfield made a speech where 20,000 graves were “decorated” for both Union and Confederate soldiers.


Today we honor all those that have fallen in wars, conflicts, and service from the Revolutionary War to the present.


Let’s all remember this as we take a holiday break from our labors to recall those that gave the ultimate sacrifice so we can.


In memorium. In memory of. Remembrance.

Ever thought a decision was blatantly wrong, only to discover it was spot-on from another angle? Dive into a story where the game of basketball mirrors life's complex judgments. A whistle, a foul, and a realization that not everything is as it appears at first glance. It's a journey from the heated moments on the court to the reflective calm of hindsight, proving that in basketball, as in life, the full picture often requires a shift in perspective.

Just shot a +1 at Harbour Town on Hilton Head today.

The Virtual Reality Hilton Head, that is 😎

My best ever score on Golf+ Meta VR. I'm actually playing at 4.3 handicap on this game. Someday, maybe it will transfer over to my “real reality” game.

Until then, I will chase scratch here. Funny, I was pretty nervous over my five foot par putt on 18 to secure the score.

Anyone on Golf+ that’s up for a round, ping me. The weather is always good (unless we make it really windy on purpose!)

By the way, I know Matt Cole would have rejoiced over this. He got me hooked on this silly but really fun game. He always wanted to know how I played. Thanks, Matt!

And, when asked where I get my first hole in one, my family thinks it comes on VR versus real. Hoping for the latter…next up tomorrow at Kitsap GCC.
