Michigan Veteran Homes’ Post

A Special Message on this July 4th from AHC President, Julie Broadway: Birthdays, after a certain age, are less about the cake and candles and more about assessment and reflection. Accomplishments and disappointments are examined, hopefully pointing a path forward toward more of the former and less of the latter. You might find this a rather somber open to an essay on the occasion of our common birthday – Independence Day. Be assured there is much to celebrate. There will be parades all across the nation. In many instances, the celebrations will be led and attended by a faithful, brave, and spirited four-legged partner: the horse. It is on this point that we would like to reflect upon this year. Over the course of 248 birthdays, from George Washington’s horse Nelson riding fearlessly into Revolutionary war battles to providing honors to the fallen at Arlington Cemetery, horses have been woven into this country’s history. Horses have tilled our land for food and provided transport from everything from postal services to operational partners in times of war. As the nation evolved so did the role of the horse. The transition from physical labor — using horsepower to leisure activities — marked a significant shift in our relationship with these magnificent creatures. Consequently, the discussion around them has shifted from what horses need to do to support the rider or the spectator to what we need to do to support the horse.

Do you know the importance of this important holiday? Do you know the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day? If not, take just a few minutes and spend it with us as we talk about the differences between these two holidays.

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.

This is a powerful commentary on how becoming disabled isn't a death sentence. You keep moving forward. #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #forwardthinking

Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇲 We want to take a moment to show our gratitude for those who have made the greatest sacrifice, their life, on behalf of the United States. Regardless of how we feel right now, I know that the rights and freedoms we have were hard won. Thank you to our heroes! ❤️🤍💙 "Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just one step at a time." – Eleanor Roosevelt #SalesUpRising #businesscoach #salescoach #salescoaching #businessgrowth #businessmentor #businessgoals #MemorialDay #LestWeNotForget #EleanorRoosevelt #EleanorRooseveltQuotes

This Memorial Day, I'm reflecting on on the choice between bravery and passivity. As proud first generation Nigerian-American and patriot in the TRUE sense of the word, I am immensely grateful for the service of those we honor today. When faced with the choice between bravery and passivity, they chose bravery. They prioritized country over their own safety. Most of us aren't brave enough to make that choice. As we honor them today - let's ask ourselves what choices between bravery and passivity we ARE brave enough to make? Are we brave enough to be upstanders when we witness injustice? Are we brave enough to advocate for those who go unheard? Are we brave enough to come to the defense of people or ideas that might be unpopular when we know it's the right thing to do? Are we brave enough to rock a boat that needs rocking? Are we brave enough to give some feathers the ruffling they deserve? To become fully self-actualized, there has to be something we're willing to risk for something that matters more than our comfort. Where can choosing bravery over passivity make a difference that matters more than your comfort in your sphere of influence? No matter how seemingly small or insignificant, the impact of choosing bravery is always relatively big when compared with the impact of choosing passivity. Most of us will never be the heroes will celebrate today, but that doesn't mean we have to be zeros either. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #veterans #landofthefree #homeofthebrave #thankyouforyourservice #yourvoicematters #responsiblemarketing
