1000 Words: It's our honor
Fans at yesterday's Cubs-Brewers game were witness to a deeply touching, on-field ceremony to recognize Medal of Honor recipients.
Cubs photographer Stephen Green was stationed at the front of the upper deck to catch the proceedings. Players from both teams met over 60 veterans at the foul lines, exchanging custom-made pins for Congressional Medal of Honor Society coins. The USO of Illinois presented the U.S. flag in centerfield.
Today, there are fewer than 100 living recipients, and with Chicago hosting the 2009 Medal of Honor Convention, fans yesterday gave the U.S. heroes a moving welcome to Wrigley Field.
If the Cubs trade Big Z, how about this trade. Carlos to the White Sox for Gordon Beckman & Carlos Quinten. The Cubs can include Michael Haufpower.
