have seen it. It is a very moving experience. The Memorial is quite impressive and takes it’s place along the Mall as a “must see” area.
The mall played such a central role in MLK’s narrative and this is truly a fitting tribute to a great man.
Here is a powerful film- “Man of Peace In Time Of War” that shows MLK’s life and times! On SnagFilms.com. Watch, learn and pay tribute. Go see this wonderful Memorial. Thank you.

Two for two.

He makes the NHL 2010-11 All Rookie team. We are proud of John, or as some like to call him “Captain America”. We shouldn’t forget how many other first year players we had on our team last season; Carlson, Alzner, Neuvirth, Holtby and Johansson.
Drafting well and playing young players are still critical to our ongoing success. These players are quite skilled and talented. They have won championships in the AHL or international settings. They are winners and they all have upside still. I believe this has been under reported and not as appreciated by some. We played a lot of young players last year. They all gained experience. We are well positioned to improve just from these young players maturing. Thank you.
So we are honored to be on any list– so the “A- list” is very nice.
Link love to Washington Life here and their annual list. Thank you.
Great film widget from Military.com. Lots of great movies built around Veterans Day. This is so great. Click here to watch, read and enjoy. Pay homage to our brave men and women in the armed services.
Our staff is very impressed with two young center prospects, one of them in Cody Eakin.
We are drafting and developing multiple young centers now.
That is a tough position to fill.
Backstrom will be here for years.
Marcus Johansson looks like he could develop into a very good center.
Cody Eakin too.
And there are others as well.
We have done a very good job of managing our salary cap and of developing young players to make our line-up now and to have even younger players ready to make the team in the out years creates real competition.
And ups the pace and tempo at camp. Everyone has to look over their shoulder.
And everyone plays hard in preseason games.
We are 2-0 after winning on Saturday night in Nashville 2 to 1.
This is a great story about our good friend, business partner, and fellow owner of our sports teams Jack Davis.
Jack does the right thing the right way.
We are proud of you Jack! Check out this wonderful article.

My eBuddy, Big Ken Holden from Tampa, and I went to the White House yesterday to celebrate National Mentoring Month. We represented Best Buddies at the event.
We waited outside in the cold for 30 minutes with about 100 other mentors and mentees. We were ID checked outside. We then went to another checkpoint where we were IDed again. We then went to a third checkpoint where we were screened with metal detectors, etc. and ID checked again. Thanks “gate crashers” for making the security checks much tougher and longer than usual.
Then we walked into the White House where everyone was very open and friendly. Piano music was being played and members of the military were there to host and escort us.
Ken and I walked around. I took many photos of him in front of Presidential portraits and in several rooms. We then went to the event itself. Mrs. Obama and the POTUS both delivered wonderful speeches. Some photos were taken and then we were told we could mingle and meet other mentors and then we left.
We were in and out in 75 minutes. It was run very efficiently and very smoothly. It was a wonderful event and I am proud to have been invited. It was also wonderful to spend quality time with Ken who then took his Mom to the Wizards game and sat in my seats on the floor. All in all, it was a nice visit at the White House and a great day for Best Buddies.
