In the war on terrorism, James "J.B." Ball wants to be the ultimate golf caddy.
Ball, of Savage, founded Tee It Up for the Troops, a nonprofit organization that raises money for wounded soldiers and their families.
His goal is to make the Friday prior to every Sept. 11 a "national day of golf," featuring dozens of charitable tournaments held simultaneously across the country.
