commentary on Memorial Day...

at least one NFL alumnus has the Medal of Honor(the highest military honor given to a soldier,for bravery,and valor)... Jack Lummus,who played for the New York Giants,and was playing the Brooklyn Dodgers(a NFL team,also back then)on December 7th,1941,and during halftime,AP notified the crowd of the attack at Pearl Harbor... the players were not told,at the time... after the NFL Championship game,against the Chicago Bears,he enlisted in the Marine Corps reserve... he was at Imo Jima,charged three pillboxes,killed many Imperial Japanese troops while wounded,and his last recorded words,while in a hospital,was,"the New York Giants lost a pretty good end,today"... well,folks,we lost many good men,period...
