As we approach the 4th of July, our celebration of independence as a country, I want to express my thanks to the men and women of action who have served and continue to serve in the military. They create and maintain a safety net for us everyday. Thank you to all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives, health, and future, sometimes leaving family/friends as they travel all over the world, with a goal of peace.
"We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for each other and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it." Pope Francis
"There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risk and costs of comfortable inaction." John F. Kennedy
"The ultimate measure of a man (woman) is not where he (she) stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he (she) stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our service men and women stand tall in times of challenge and controversy. Thank all of you and your families for your life and the gifts you share with the rest of us! You truly are our heroes!
