Tiger Woods received a special invitation to speak at the inauguration. His
inviters were stunned, shocked when he did not deliver the
message they expected. A brief read and you will understand why
the media swept Woods' remarks under the rug with no further ado and why the
liberal left of our American society was again displeased with Tiger.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" [text is word-for-word as posted on Tiger's web
"I grew up in a military family - and my role models
in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods. My dad was a Special
Forces operator and many nights friends would visit our home. They represented
every branch of the service, and every rank.
In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the dedication and
commitment of those who serve. They come from every walk of
life; from every part of our country. Time and again, across
generations, they have defended our safety in the dark of night and far from home.
Each day -- and particularly on this historic day -- we honor the men and
women in uniform who serve our country and protect our freedom. They travel
to the dangerous corners of the world, and we must remember
that for every person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for
them to come home safely.
I am honored that the military is such an important part,
not just of my personal life, but of my professional one as well.
The golf tournament we do each year here in Washington is a
testament to those unsung heroes.
I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his
country, family and the military, and I am a better person for it.
In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man at whose
memorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment and said: 'I am
greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their
Just as they have stood tall for our country - we must
always stand by and support the men and women in uniform and their families.
Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the US
Tiger Woods' 2-minute, 5-second tribute to the our nation's military was
delivered January 18th at the Inaugural Celebration in Washington , DC !
He had been subjected to intense pressure to attend and offer
remarks. Especially so by liberals who have demeaned and criticized
him for a decade for not joining their ranks.
Yet, at the Lincoln Memorial, instead of paying homage to Barack Obama,
Tiger paid tribute to our soldiers. Not once did Tiger mention Obama, the
inauguration or the new administration. He had to understand expressing his
love for America and appreciation for our military men and women would
disappoint the national news media and the liberal left. But Tiger is his
own man; his father taught him to be his own man.
Somewhere over that cold, gray Washington sky, Colonel Earl
Woods was smiling down on his beloved son. And there will be
one more crying hug waiting for Tiger when the time comes he passes
through heaven's gates into God's arms.
What? You did not previously know what Tiger said?
You did not see a video clip of him speaking on a national television network,
you did not see a photo of Tiger at the Lincoln Memorial offering his
remarks, you did not read a story in the NY Times? His appearance at the
Inaugural Celebration had been widely hailed and promoted in advance by
the Obama inaugural organizers. Yet January 18 when he came and spoke . . .
AND... If you are as tired of the liberal media as I am,
change the channel, and pass this on.
