COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center has a dedicated spot for local active-duty military personnel and veterans during the U.S. Senior Open. It's located near the 18th green.
"We get to hang out with other veterans," said Patrick Ryan, an Army combat veteran.
Ryan says he has enjoyed sharing some of his military experience from the Gulf War.
"It's special for sure," said Doug Corrion, a Navy and Army veteran. "I'm going to try to talk to as many people as I can, and learn what their sacrifices were and what their experience was."
The Military Outpost offers complimentary snacks and drinks for veterans and their guests.
"It gives an opportunity for people to enjoy something they (the military community) might not always get to know," said James Herrington with the Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center.
Veterans and their guests can enjoy half-off admission on tournament days.
