Now That's a Basketball Court

President Obama and the First Lady ended Veterans Day [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/11/12/president-obama-attends-carrier-classic?utm_source=111411&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] aboard the USS Carl Vinson where they watched the University of North Carolina men's basketball team defeat Michigan State University in the first-ever Carrier Classic. They were joined by more than 8,000 people, most of them uniformed military personnel, on the flight deck of the 95,000-ton, Nimitz-class ship.

As much as the President loves a good game of basketball, he made a point to say [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/11/11/remarks-president-aboard-uss-carl-vinson?utm_source=111411&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] that the real reason for the event was to celebrate the members of the U.S. armed forces and their families and ensure that our nation does right by its heroes.
