We live in an era of great confusion and disappointment with governance and a general dissatisfaction in our representation in OUR government. Allow me share some memorable advice my granma used to share to me- "things seem to always get worse before they get better", or even more shared, "It's always darkest right before dawn". The idea of "America" was that of a "great experiment", at a time where entire nations were either ruLED by a monarchy or were empires were RULED by emperors, a group of enlightened people conceptualized the idea of a nation ruled by the people. They even postulated a number of scenarios in that! Some were unrealistic, some were marginally laughable. But the concept was so appealing, men were willing to die for it. In the decades around what we today know as America's "Independence Day", this nation developed a principle that would be used over and over in many other lands on this planet. Back to today- I try to remember the advice from my granma when I understand that the experiment is still running, because the settings were never potted in epoxy- Lest we forget that those enlightened people considered that times would change, society would change and thus governance should be able to change to support that change. I won't waste your time talking about the things we should have learned in our civics classes in school, but consider those now... As we celebrate our Independence, let us also remember that the cost of FREEDOM is NEVER FREE- When we are a military protecting the homeland from external influences that would compromise the autonomy of our nation's governance or it's people's freedoms, OR safety. Or, a citizen that understands that we are not expected to leave the governance of our country to someone else, but that a government "Of, WE the People" means that what we have is the product of our contributions, or lack there of... Make America what you expect it to be, make YOUR contributions to it- participate in the government of it, scrutinize the abilities and effectiveness of those you choose to represent you in government, consider what happens to the governance as that representative exploits your representation- we are NOT choosing leaders here folks- we are CHOOSING those that REPRESENT our expectations in the governance of this "Nation built on the GREAT EXPERIMENT... Happy 4th of July- Let Freedom Ring!

Happy Independence Day! Almost 250 years ago, a radical and revolutionary idea took hold - that all men were created equal and endowed by their creator with the inalienable right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights Governments were instituted by men, deriving their just powers by the consent of the governed. Our founders, recognizing the challenges and fallibility of humans during their time and in the future, laid out an aspirational dream toward a more perfect Union. With our recent divisions, political polarization, and tribalism, today is a good day to reconnect with the aspirations of our founders.

I wanted to wish all of my professional peers a happy American Independence Day, and to remind everyone how lucky we are that our forefathers had the insights to lay the groundwork for where we are today. Nothing is perfect, and trials where freedom is, will strengthen. As professionsals, we begin each fiscal year with a new set of goals. Back in 1787, our forefathers did the same, and laid these out in what became the preamble of our Constitution. Essentially, the “objectives” of our governments foundation. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.". Take it to heart. Take it to work. Take it to sleep. These are critical objectives that we must strive to drive with passion in our work and home lives. Don’t tread on these objectives. Happy Independence Day!

🇺🇸Celebrating our Freedom as Americans🇺🇸 As we celebrate the 4th of July, it's a time to reflect on the incredible freedoms that we often take for granted but that truly set our country apart. These freedoms not only make our lives better but also empower us to innovate, grow, and lead in ways that are unparalleled around the world. Here are some of the key freedoms we enjoy: 🔵 Freedom of Speech: The ability to express our thoughts and ideas openly. 🔵 Freedom of Opportunity: The chance to pursue our dreams and achieve our goals. 🔵 Freedom of Innovation: The liberty to create and drive progress in every field. 🔵 Freedom of Choice: The power to make decisions that shape our lives and communities. These freedoms are the foundation of our success and the reason we can look forward to a bright future. Let's take a moment to appreciate and celebrate these liberties, and commit to preserving them for future generations. What freedoms are you most grateful for this Independence Day? Wishing everyone a safe and joyful 4th of July! Let's celebrate our freedoms and the endless possibilities they bring. 🇺🇸 #4thOfJuly #IndependenceDay #Freedom #Innovation #Opportunity #Gratitude

November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. The month is a time to celebrate rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people. Heritage Month is also an opportune time to educate the general public about tribes, to raise a general awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways in which tribal citizens have worked to conquer these challenges. (From ncai.org) Here are some ways you can be an ally to Indigenous People: Get informed. Read up on Native American History and take the time to inform yourself on the challenges Indigenous people face today. Participate with interest in Native American events and celebrations. Create space for indigenous voices and listen intently to the stories they tell. Share Native art and culture with respect to Native ownership and representation. Take meaningful action — go beyond acknowledgement. Focus on helping the community find solutions for obstacles that hinder Native American rights. We’d also like to honor the Indigenous land on which we live and work: 📍Lenapehoking (Lenni-Lenape)

On July 4th we celebrate the courage of those men and women who embraced the idea of freedom and indepedence and sacrificed much to earn it. It took over seven years from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed until the day the British surrendered, but those in the halls of Congress, and those who rallied behind such a powerful ideal didn't know how long the task would last. Today we are honored and inspired by those same "self- evident" truths to continue building a more perfect Union, no matter how long the task will take. Happy Indepedence Day! #independenceday #transformers #distributiontransformers #fieldservices #temporarypower #circulareconomy #sustainability #rentalpower
