Happy Veterans Day!
Unlike Memorial Day, today is a day to thank veterans for their service. There are people that do not believe in thanking veterans for their service and that is ok. This is the country thanking veterans. As a veteran I do not seek recognition and when I get it I feel weird about it. Its doing a job for me and that is what I did. There is a little extra that comes with it and that we must deal with on our own by getting the assistance that we need. All of us, me included, have had our lives affected because of a veteran. I pass by Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon every day that I go into work. I pass by the Air Force Memorial and The Museum of the Marine Corps every day.
I served in the Marines for just over 9 years and had 3 deployments with them into Iraq and Africa. I still have not set foot in the Museum as I have not become ok with it yet. I was medically retired due to PTSD, Severe Anxiety and Morbid Depression. Doing things like this post each year helps me center myself and gives me a purpose to express myself in different ways. I know you didn’t ask to hear this and its ok because its my post. Lol. I am just one of many of the veterans that have stories. IF you are a veteran then thank you for your service. I challenge all of you and I ask that you challenge others to seek out a veteran and let them tell you their story. Some of the older ones just want someone to talk to.
Now on to basketball!!
The Tulsa Women move to 2-0 as they dismantled San Jose State last night and have a date with Arkansas on the 14th. This team has improved from last season from the looks of it so far and this game will be a good check on how far they have come. Coach Nelp is doing a fantastic job. I am not a big Womens basketball fan because a lot of games just seem disjointed. I do find myself watching this team. Remember tickets are like 5 bucks and would be a good time for a family event at the Reynolds center. So there is that.
Cincinnati had to hold off Cleveland State who just would not go away. Oklahoma State did not have such luck as they lost it at the end at home to Southern Illinois.
Marquette destroyed Central Michigan and UC Riverside edged out Loyola Marymount.
Today we have a rather large slate of games.
We have Temple, SMU and South Florida playing top 25 teams this evening. Only Temple has the game at home. The other two are on the road. Houston and Saint Joseph’s are playing a neutral site game in Annapolis for the Veterans Classic.
GO TU!!!!
