"To honor those who lost so much as well as those who gave everything that day."We will have a new theme tomorrow."However, despite having removed the menu from social media, speedy social media users were able to capture the menu and share it on a private community group first."Hopefully they'll be properly shamed for this," one outraged Twitter user commented after seeing the menu.And one bereaved woman who lost her husband to the tragedy on what would have been his 58th birthday was particularly outraged, telling the Daily Mail: "9/11 is about the lives lost and those who are sick from it, not about various 9/11-related food choices."Another eagle-eyed critic observed that Stafford has a large population of Army veterans.The exclusive golf club charges $1,035 (£900) for an annual membership for a family as well as regular community dues of $1,620 (£1,408) per year, and a $2,500 (£2,174) community initiation fee.Located just 45 miles from Washington DC, it typically attracts a more well-to-do clientele.White has since updated the menu to be football-themed, featuring the likes of 'Hot Defense' crab dip, 'Champs Chowder', 'Fumble Flounder', and a 'Touch Down-tini'.The Daily Star has contacted The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbor for comment.To get more stories from Daily Star delivered straight to your inbox sign up to one of.
