Veterans Day is a time to honor and express gratitude to the brave individuals who've selflessly served our nation. These heroes have dedicated their lives to safeguarding our freedom, often making immense sacrifices. On this day, we remember their unwavering commitment and the families who've supported them on their journey. It's an opportunity to reflect on the importance of peace, unity, and the value of service. Let's not only celebrate our veterans with parades and ceremonies but also embrace them as vital members of our community, ensuring they have the resources and support they need. Our gratitude extends beyond this single day; it's a year-round commitment. Support veteran-focused organizations, engage in acts of kindness, and listen to their stories. By doing so, we show that we recognize and appreciate their sacrifice, resilience, and dedication. Veterans Day is a reminder that freedom isn't free, and it's made possible by the extraordinary courage of those who've served. Let's keep their spirit alive by fostering a culture of respect and unity, always grateful for their service and sacrifice. #VeteransDay #GratitudeForOurHeroes #HonorAndRespect #BraveService #FreedomDefenders #SelflessSacrifice #UnwaveringCommitment #FamilySupport #PeaceAndUnity #ValueOfService #CelebratingVeterans #CommunitySupport #ResourcesForVeterans #YearRoundGratitude #VeteranFocusedOrganizations #ActsOfKindness #ListeningToTheirStories #RecognizeAndAppreciate #SacrificeAndResilience #CourageousService #RememberingOurHeroes #FreedomIsntFree #ExtraordinaryCourage #SupportingOurVeterans #InclusiveTherapyGroup

Happy Memorial Day! The question is often asked "Should I Thank a Veteran on Memorial Day?". Well, we think it's appropriate to thank a Veteran for their service on any day of the calendar year...however, it is a complex question. It is essential to understand the distinction between these two observances to ensure our gratitude is appropriately directed. It is not customary to say “thank you” to veterans on Memorial Day, but there are meaningful ways to honor the sacrifices made. Click the link below to take a look at the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day and how we can best pay tribute to veterans on each. https://hubs.ly/Q02sXV9B0 #brossandfrankel #brossfrankel #disabilitylawyers #disabilityattorneys #socialsecuritydisability #SSD #SSDI #longtermdisability #LTD #veteransdisability #veteransaffairs #veteransbenefits #workerscompensation #personalinjury #MemorialDay

From Brother Roo…🙏🏼😔🫡🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫵 We veterans do take this very seriously: Here's some ground rules for this weekend: 1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial Day! There is nothing happy about brave men and women dying. 2. It's not a holiday, it's a remembrance. 3. If you want to know the true meaning, visit Arlington or your local VA or local Veterans Cemetery. 4. Don't talk to me how great any one political power is. Talk to me about Eugene Ashley, Brian Bucher, Nate Chapman, John Levitow, Jon Mills, Mitch Nelson, Chris Kyle, Neil Roberts, John Chapman, Robert Miller and countless other of our Special Forces heroes too numerous to name who made the ultimate sacrifice. Attend a Bell Ceremony, Roll Call or any other type and shed some tears. 5. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about, I have carried the burden all too many times for Warriors who now stand their post with God. 6. Remember the Fallen for all the Good they did while they were here. 7. Reach out and let a Vet know you're there, we're losing too many in "peace". One more thing, as a Veteran, when you come together, when you have that BBQ, before you eat, circle up and say a prayer. Raise a glass to your Brothers and Sisters that are gone. Then you don't say a word. After that, eat and enjoy each others company.

Honoring Our Fallen Heroes: Memorial Day and Beyond As Memorial Day approaches, I want to highlight the often-overlooked stories behind the names we see on bridges, highways, and cemeteries. These are the names of our fallen veterans, and their stories are fading as the last survivors of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam pass on. My own ancestors served, and I grew up hearing incredible stories of bravery and sacrifice. It's a source of regret that I didn't preserve their words more carefully. We're losing precious first-hand accounts with every passing day. The recent news about the Francis Scott Key Bridge reminded me how little the younger generations may know about America’s past. Let's change that! This May, I'll be sharing stories of some of the places dedicated to fallen veterans. I hope this will inspire others to learn the history behind these names. Is there a national map or resource listing veteran-named highways and bridges? If you know of one, please share! May 2/31 Next time you're on US Highway 12, remember the sacrifices of the Iron Brigade! This Civil War unit, known for its black hats and bravery, suffered heavy losses at battles like Gettysburg. This portion of the highway is also dedicated to such battles as Second Bull Run and Antietam. I was fortunate enough to serve alongside USS Antietam (CG 54), third in name, for four deployments. Learning the history of the Battle of Antietam is well worth the read/viewing (in comments) for those who do not know of this historic battle. While the battle took place in Maryland, there are dedications to those that died in battle all along US Highway 12. Look for historical markers in WI, MI, & IN commemorating these soldiers. #IronBrigade #USHistory #RoadTrip #CivilWarBattlefield #NeverForget #Maryland #lestweforget #veterans #heroes #memorialday

Move from your #comfortzone to your #uncomfortzone! (#beapuddle) Many retirees (🙋♂️), veterans, and spouses have a wealth of experiences and skillsets. We know how to be successful! We can take any problem and work it through to completion. (With cross-functional teams in dynamic blah blah - you get it). Is that enough? Remember, what got you here won’t get you to the next level. Allow yourself to expand your comfort zone by doing things outside of it. Growing with other people who challenge us is a great way to push past some of those roadblocks that we put in our own path. This weekend when I was on the beach with my daughter I came across a motivated group from GORUCK - men and women, young and old, carrying sandbags and weighted backpacks. (They also have programs for kids.) I watched as they encouraged eachother, laughed with eachother, and struggled with eachother as they carried/pushed/dragged those bags into the cold water of the Atlantic. They shared in a similar struggle and were all uncomfortable together - authoring different pages of the same story. What an awesome experience. Your comfort zone is only as big as you CHOOSE to make it! Remember, puddles don’t evaporate because of the sun. They evaporate because the water stops flowing! If we all choose to be a bigger puddle, imagine the size of the lake we could be together! #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #canimakebeapuddletrend #beapuddle GORUCK Wounded Warrior Project Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF
