First - a special thanks to all vets - particularly any of you here as part of our group who volunteered, suited up in the uniform, hoisted a rifle, marched a post, filed a report, peeled a potato, and perhaps even left the shore in defense of our freedoms. Words aren't adequate to express my deepest gratitude to you.

Now the Petty trivia for 11-11-11 posted at 11:11 AM CST.

On November 11, 1962, Richard Petty won the one and only NASCAR Grand National race run at Golden Gate Speedway in Tampa, FL. Memories are blogged here:
