I wish to thank Prairie Isle Golf Club for their wonderful tribute to veterans, at their 19th annual Veterans Salute held on Sept. 9 in Crystal Lake. Hundreds of vets from all the armed services had a great day of free golf, food and prizes. It is a great day to revisit old friends, enjoy the outdoors, and play golf on a perfect fairway. Staff is always over the top to make it a great day of brats, corn, pizza ... and doughnuts. Best of wishes to a great golf club and sponsors.
