Salute to the Veterans

[MRG9999]

Just wanted to say "Thank You" to all the Veterans that are members of Umpire Empire for Veterans Day on 11/11/13.  With out your service to our country, I hate to think where we may be with all the conflicts that are happening around the world.

What the hell is it about the Navy and the need to be an umpire? (I am including you as well Jocko.)

Most Navy bases have or had a very active fast pitch softball program. Or maybe we just like boss people around.
