Thank you for your featuring us in the Old Farts Group, one of my favorite groups here.  We appreciate it. A

Kathy Streib one of our really good friend chosen to  study at the Air Force Academy.  He told us that as a young cadet, he learned that the momen someone with a Medal of Honor walked in, everyone stood up including the Generals and the Admirals even if the person had a lower rank...Last night as they were introduced we all stood up,  It was such a natural act.  One of the gentleman said, that in a sense they all felt awkward wearing those ribbons, because they felt those medal belonged to the American people.  I really found out that my mascara wad pretty much tear proof.  LOL A

Endre Barath, Jr. I am glad that the three we met were alive.  One of them served in the army and was very well spoken.  He had a great sense of humor and was an excellent speaker.  Ron and I spent quite a bit of time chatting with him and his sweet wife.  The second one was Navy  and his injury was visible on his face. He was soft spoken, you would never peg him for a hero, and his wife was lovely too.  The third one was tall built like a line backer with a tall lovely wife.  He was the funster, and the most expressive of the 3, passionate and jovial.  I was impressed by all of them.  It was a very moving experience! I was very happy that my mascara was truly waterproof as I gave it a rigorous test.  A

Nina Hollander The night before we were at the French Laundry, in the kitchen, where the three recipients gave the same message to us and the 30 plus kitchen staff.  Each man and woman teared up.  Many, came to our country to live the American dream.  And they all wanted to shake the hands of the attending recipients.   I can now recommend the strengtth of my waterproof mascara.  A

Brian England the golf courses are gorgeous.  We attended a wedding at the golf course at The Pebble Beach resort.  It was held on the 17th hole.  And the view was spectacular to say the least...I would be happy walking with someone playing there, just to take in the beauty of it. A

Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 I was moved the night before when we met these men, and again at Pebble Beach...It was one of those moments that moved both of us.  They have a tradition of bagpipe playing at the Pebble Beach Resorts, and the bagpipe was playing along with the band the national anthem...the mournful sound added to the tears of the millions that died in the freedom fight.  A

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD the emotions are still raw in both of us.  My dinner mate at the event was a retired SEAL who still does these demos because he loves sky diving was telling about Iraq and the horrors there.  But he said Iraq seemed like Los Angeles because Afghanistan was so horrible , he could not even describe it by comparison.   He did two tours there...And hurray for the mascara I use, it kept me from looking like a racoon at the end of the evening.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® Thank you for your comments.  I think that this moment is etched in both of our hearts, and I switched by Amazon charity to the Navy Seals museum.  Besides education and exhibits, they take care of their own when it comes to retrofitting a home to make it wheelchair friendly etc.   This event is the brainchild of our real estate clients.  They orchestrate the whole thing from corporate sponsors to bringing the NFL Legends.  They also started in their community a scholarship fund for the kids of Navy Seals.  A
