Happy Memorial Day to all who served, their families and our Active Duty members serving today. Today is a when our thoughts should turn to more serious things other than sports and college football. Let’s wish for safe passages to our current service members both home and abroad and give a hearty thank you very much to all who have served in the past.
One personal note: When you think of our service members and the missions they undertake remember that what our citizenry sees publicly is the tip of the iceberg of what their responsibilities and duties really are. It truly is a 24/7/365 job and let us also appreciate that at any moment their phone may ring and they could be on a flight within the hour to anywhere in the world to keep us safe and healthy.
Bravo Zulu to all!!
But hey- we are also Pitt football fans on this Memorial Day so here goes –
Everyone loves talking about the upcoming Pitt -Penn State game that will be played at Heinz Field on September 10th. It will be a noteworthy game in many ways – first time the teams met since we beat them in 2000; a PSU coach who may be on the hot seat sooner than later; bragging rites for recruiting the state of Pennsylvania, and last, but not least, in Pitt fan’s books – James Conner’s return to playing in a big game.
