Just when I questioned the Bucks organization and players on their community involvement, I see a news story that Brandon Jennings (who I did note has been involved) worked with Hunger Task Force to give a great holiday gift to 200 local children.

They rented out Dave & Busters to treat them to a day of fun, games, and of course food and gave autographs to all in attendance.

Great to see Jennings prove me wrong and dish it out off the court.

The holidays seem to have evolved into days we celebrate for having a day off of work rather than for recognizing why it is a holiday - a 'holy' or sacred day. We plan parties or dinners, go to sporting events or use the extra time to fit in a movie, but the commemoration of the day's origin and meaning fall by the wayside more and more each year it seems. So this Memorial Day, make sure you take some time to honor what it is about, a Memorial or memory of men and women who died in service to America. There are of course the parades and ceremonies that you can find around town, but here are some different and lesser kno
