Obama was the one that missed out. 2 years ago Arlington Park held a special day for the Medal of Honor winners. Probably 30-40 were there including many who have had books and movies written about them. They were introduced individually and while they limped and wheeled by the crowd stood and clapped for each like it was the first one. They seemed more appreciative of us than we did of them. Very few dry eyes in the park. One of the coolest days I've had at the track for sure.
