O beautiful for heroes proved

These "Beautiful" lyrics say so much in remembrance of 9/11/01

I am listening to Ray Charles sing it with the greatest of inspiration..

"O beautiful for heroes proved 

In liberating strife. 

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life! 

America! America! 

May God thy gold refine 

Till all success be nobleness 

And every gain divine! 

O beautiful for patriot dream 

That sees beyond the years 

Thine alabaster cities gleam 

Undimmed by human tears! 

America! America! 

God shed his grace on thee 

And crown thy good with brotherhood 

From sea to shining sea!"

"From that unspeakable evil, truly, much good did come as many Americans have taken up the charge to pitch in and to make sure that we never forget.”-Gary Sinise

Huge Kudos to Jeff for playing 100 holes of golf in 10 hours, for putting himself out there for our veterans and having fun while doing it. He's up for it next year to boot!

Here are the stats in Jeff's own words;

Hello All,

First of all, I want to thank all of you who generously donated to the PGA HOPE program.  I appreciate your moral as well as your financial support! PGA HOPE is a great program that does great things.  I wanted to let you know how my day went playing 100 holes in a day. 

The day started at 9:55 am.  I played and “warm up” of 1-10 on the Falls course at Blackhawk CC.  I played from the Blue Tees throughout the day.  After the 10^th hole, I went back to the 1^st hole to begin the first of 5 rounds.  I have listed some stats below to let you know how I did.
