#1 Went to the Seattle-Detroit game yesterday and this was focus of the pre-game on field festivities. In addition, each Seattle home game, they ask all Veterans to stand and be recognized. Color guards are from local military units as well as the various military-based fraternal organizations.

Feels good.

#2 Was at the Yankees-Sox game in the Bronx. They asked active duty and vets to stand while they were acknowledged, introduced about 15 guys from Wounded Warrior Project (one of whom threw out the first pitch), showed a video and generally did a nice job. Ronan Tynan singing "God Bless America" was great, too. Too bad the Sawx won.
