Blessed to spend an afternoon playing golf at the Kaneohe Klipper Course on

the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base in Hawaii.  This is a nice course with several spectacular holes

fronting the ocean.  With the sounds of screaming F22 Raptor Fighter Jets above and crashing waves along the coast this is one special golf experience that I will not soon forget.  This is a heavily fortified post that is home to the 3rd Marine Regiment, Marine Aircraft Group 24, Combat Logistics Battalion 3, 3rd Radio Battalion, and the Navy's Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 2.  Hard to believe that while we were hitting balls in the ocean (not on purpose), our Marines were training for combat just a few hundred yards away.  Great to see some our soldiers taking a break and hitting golf balls on the driving range while wearing their camouflaged fatigues.  I cannot imagine how it feels to be hitting golf balls in Paradise one day and then being airlifted to a war zone the next.  My thoughts and prayers are with all members of our military and the men and woman who proudly serve for the Marines.  Your dedication and sacrifice is greatly appreciated.  Please know that where ever you are in the world, there are millions of people like me thinking of you and thanking you for your service to our country.
