“Our opening ceremony is the most powerful element of the entire weekend,” said Darren McBurnett, co-founder and vice president of Uncommon Grit Foundation and a retired Navy SEAL.“Golfers are called to their carts to retrieve a fallen SEAL memorial flag. They line up with their flags as the names of each fallen man is read aloud. The flags then get placed in a memorial dedicated to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of our country.”
He shared that the Bone Frog is an iconic image to U.S. Navy SEALs that symbolizes bravery, sacrifice, and honor.
