Tuesday night’s game at Wrigley Field between the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics is being played in honor of the United States military. I’m really proud to see that our country has not changed its patriotic spirit, even though the long-lasting wars in Iran and Afghanistan no longer make headlines. There are still men and women serving overseas in austere locations so America can continue to be a force of good and a place of freedom.
What’s really sad is that not many men and women in uniform will be able to attend the Cubs game Tuesday evening to see how much everyone still appreciates them.
