Look What I just found in our local news paper
101st Airborne Division veteran Heath Calhoun of Clarksville took part in a kickoff ceremony Friday for Patriot Golf Day Weekend with former President George W. Bush
They were joined in the ceremonial tee-off by Dan Rooney, founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation, and Jim Remy, PGA of America president at Ridgewood Country Club in Waco, Texas.
The four-day event, under way Sept. 3-6 at thousands of participating golf courses around the country, hopes to raise $2 million or more for scholarships for military families.
"I am honored to be chairman of Patriot Golf Day 2010 and for the opportunity to launch this special event this weekend," Bush said. "I greatly admire our vets and their families and the sacrifices they have made.
"This is a great way for citizens to contribute to a scholarship fund for children who have a lost a parent in combat or whose parent was severely wounded."
Patriot Golf Day Weekend 2010 is a national event where golfers are asked to donate a minimum of $1 in addition to their regular greens fees to raise money for scholarships for the families of military service members killed or catastrophically wounded in the line of duty.
