Honor a Veteran for Memorial Day On this Memorial Day, I am honoring my Uncle Romie who was a cook in the army. He was a Forest Ranger and dressed up as Smokey the Bear to do education programs for the local community. He would climb the fire tower and look for forest fires in the national forests. His fire tower was like the one in the photo. Uncle Romie looked for something to laugh about because he reported me to my Mom for hitting boys with my red purse on the playground in elementary school which was across the road from his fire tower. I know he saw this as a random act of kindness for the boys on the playground and for me, too. I did stop the behavior after my Mom explained this would limit my supply of purses. The biggest win you can have for your organization or business is to focus on what value your strategy creates for your customers, employees, and community. Like Uncle Romie, finding the good in things and the value you bring to others is one of the keys to developing your strategy. The value is in the eyes of the beholder. What can you start doing to communicate your value to the person you are presenting to or serving? What can you stop doing that does not add value to the person you are presenting to or serving? What new strategy can you create to honor a veteran in your community? What is a random act of kindness you can do today to honor a veteran in your life? #strategy #OwnYourValue #MemorialDay #RandomActofKindness Photo of a Fire Tower in East Texas.

Honoring Memorial Day Respect and Reflection As we approach Memorial Day, it's important to remember that this day is not about self promotion or personal gain. It is a solemn occasion to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Here are some respectful ways to commemorate their memory without making it about ourselves: Attend a Memorial Service: Participate in a local ceremony or virtual event to show your respect, not to showcase your presence. Visit a Memorial or Cemetery: Pay your respects quietly by visiting a war memorial or a veteran's cemetery, without turning it into a photo opportunity. Support Gold Star Families: Offer genuine support to families who have lost loved ones in service, rather than using it as a platform for your own visibility. Educate Yourself and Others: Learn and share the stories of those who served and sacrificed, focusing on their bravery rather than your role in sharing the story. Pause for a Moment of Silence: At 3 p.m. local time, join the National Moment of Remembrance, not for show but out of genuine respect. Volunteer: Dedicate your time to veteran organizations or causes that support our service members and their families, keeping the focus on their needs rather than your contributions. This Memorial Day, let’s commit to reflection, gratitude, and truly honoring the memories of our fallen heroes. It's about their sacrifice, not our self-promotion. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #Gratitude #Respect

A Soldiers Poem I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did that which others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness...should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love. I have cried, pained and hoped... But most of all I have lived times that others say were best forgotten. At least someday, I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was... a SOLDIER. Today, we remember and honor the many who stood in the shadows of conflict, embodying courage and resilience. Their sacrifices paved the path of peace we walk today. Here are ways we can honor these fallen heroes: 1. **Reflect on Their Courage**: Read and share poems like the one above, which capture the essence of their journey and sacrifice. 2. **Visit Memorials**: Take time to visit local memorials and pay homage to the fallen. 3. **Educate and Share**: Teach the younger generation about the significance of this day and share stories of heroism. 4. **Support Veterans**: Engage with and support veterans' organizations in your community. 5. **Observe a Moment of Silence**: At 3 PM, pause for a national moment of remembrance and reflection. Let us carry their legacy forward with pride and ensure their memories and stories continue to inspire. 🌹 Remember And Honor #MemorialDay #Sacrifice #HonorAndRemember #Marmon #Duty #Honor #Country

Where’s Claire Memorial Day Weekend?:Celebrating the Service of Those Who Have Fallen with Those Are Still With Us Douglas MacArthur’s insight that those who serve in the military desire peace more than the rest of us rings true, especially on days like this one. It is they after all, he said, who must pay the greatest penalty. I’m surrounded by veterans, as they celebrate the service of fallen brethren and tackle the often daunting “penalties” visited upon those who survive the battlefield. Rather than rattle off statistics for us to get lost in, I’ll ask a few questions for our joint consideration: Should ANY PERSON who serves or served in the military ever confront the trauma of not having the food needed to thrive? Or…should any one of them, struggle with untreated (though treatable) medical, mental or emotional health challenges? Or…should even one of them ever feel alone? My answers for veterans and for all of us is a resounding NO! As is consistently the case with hunger, it exists with veterans alongside other barriers. I count my company today as heroes— not only because of what they did on the battlefield, but for how they bravely fight what, according to some here, is a far more difficult battle—returning home. Due, in large part, to the vision and support of #DanStarks, veterans have a platform here with which to learn from and lean on each other. Their shared experiences are being leveraged in powerful—groundbreaking even—ways. Governor #MarkGordon is here, as are the First Lady’s fingerprints (#JennieGordon), and #TimSheppard (#WyomingHungerInitiative) and #RachelBailey(#FoodBankofWyoming). If you’d like to know my precise location in this beautiful state, take a look at the video below. #WheresClaire #HonorService #feedingamerica #MakeHungerHistory

Honoring Remembrance Day Today, November 11th, we pause to observe Remembrance Day, a significant day of reflection in Canada and around the world. This day is dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of military personnel who have served in conflicts past, with a special focus on World War I and World War II. At 11 a.m., we join together in a moment of silence, a tradition that began to mark the end of World War I in 1918. This observance serves as a reminder of the bravery, resilience, and commitment to freedom demonstrated by those who served. **Why Remembrance Day Matters** 1. Honoring Sacrifice: Remembrance Day transcends political divides, recognizing the courage of those who fought for peace and freedom, ensuring a safer world for future generations. 2. Promoting Understanding: Participating in Remembrance Day allows us to deepen our understanding of history, while appreciating values of courage and resilience central to our identity. 3. Reflecting on Peace: Beyond remembrance, this day encourages us to engage in conversations about the impacts of war and the ongoing importance of peace. **Ways to Observe Remembrance Day** • Wear a Poppy: A symbol of remembrance, wearing a poppy is a powerful gesture of solidarity with those who served. • Learn and Reflect: Take time to learn about our history and veterans' stories. Visiting places like the Okanagan Military Museum can be a meaningful way to deepen this knowledge. • Support Veterans: Consider donating to organizations that provide rehabilitation services and support for veterans and their families. This Remembrance Day, let’s each take a moment to honor the past, reflect on our present freedoms, and advocate for peace.
