This week marks the 23rd anniversary of 9/11/2001, a day that remains etched in my memory as vividly as the events of Pearl Harbor or the assassination of JFK are for previous generations. As a US Navy veteran, I lived through that day and witnessed firsthand the profound impact it had on our nation. In the wake of such tragedy, it’s easy to become consumed by the darkness, to dwell on the fear, anger, and sorrow that followed. It would be natural to focus on the negatives, and honestly, it would be understandable. However, today I want to offer a different perspective. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, our country faced unimaginable challenges. We were confronted with fear and uncertainty, but we also saw something extraordinary. We witnessed a nation coming together, setting aside differences, and uniting with a common purpose. Despite our flaws and divisions, we chose to focus on rebuilding, on supporting one another, and on moving forward as a unified front. That spirit of unity was powerful and enduring. It helped us overcome obstacles and forge a path towards recovery and growth. Although the intensity of that unity may have waned over time, the essence of what we achieved together remains a beacon of hope. As we reflect on this anniversary, let us remember that we don’t need another tragedy to bring us together. Let’s choose to foster this spirit of unity and collaboration in our daily lives. By supporting each other and working together, we can create a stronger, more resilient community. Let’s carry forward the lessons of unity and solidarity from that fateful day and strive to embody them in our actions today. Together, we can continue to grow, heal, and make a positive difference. If the past 23 years have taught us anything, please don't wait to tell someone how you feel, how proud you are of them, or just give that hug. On a light ending, “Be excellent to each other.” - Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.

Memorial Day We have much to be thankful for as citizens of this country. Memorial Day provides an opportunity to be thankful for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country while serving in the US Armed Forces. Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, was held on May 30th, 1868, and remained on That date until 1971, when it was changed to the 4th Monday of May and officially became Memorial Day. Memorial Day traditions involve marking the graves where those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice are eternally laid to rest. It is also a day for parades and cookouts. For many, it is also the first weekend of summer. Several years back, I had the opportunity to visit Normandy American Cemetery, located in Colleville-su-mer, France. Standing on those grounds took my breath away. To me, it was sacred ground. The Normandy American Cemetery is adjacent to the cliff overlooking Omaha Beach. Omaha Beach was one of four beaches used on June 6, 1944, when Allied forces launched Operation Overlord, or D-Day. I have always wondered about the mindset of those men on that day. They had to jump out of an airplane or disembark a ship in the face of heavy enemy activity. They had to have fear, but they also had to understand that the only way to make it back home was to take that first step and fight. The Generation that endured the hardships of this time is known as the Greatest Generation. One of the things that made this generation great was that they understood the consequences. All of our choices have consequences. You can choose not to act on your dreams but must embrace the consequences. You can build up that wall that keeps out the fear of uncertainty, but that is also the same wall that keeps out the joy you will experience having your dream become your reality. As you take time to pause this weekend in remembrance of Memorial Day, remember your dreams. Remember how they have excited you. Never forget those times when you told yourself that one day, you would take that step, Today is that day. Don’t let the fear of the unknown hold you back. Take action, and destroy the walls holding you back. Your dream is your Kingdom; now is the time to build that bridge. Be Bold! #strategy #innovation #creativity #business #kingdombuilder

This is a nonwork topic that I feel - very passionately - that everyone should know about: the history of colonization and the current military occupation of Hawai'i - yes, I said what I said 🤗 I bet you did not know that the islands had one of the highest literary rates 📚 before their government was illegally overthrown by the Dole pineapple guy 🍍 I bet you did not know that the US military paid $1 for 1000's of acres of land only to leave unexploded bombs for children to find 💣 I bet you did not know our largest aquaphor or fresh water source (known as Red Hill) has been knowingly poisoned for decades by the US Navy 🚰 But I bet you might have heard about Mark Zuckerberg's new compound on Kauai, or the entire island that Larry Ellison now owns, or that Marc Benioff just put his name on Hilo's only hospital 🤷 If you are traveling to the islands, please do so responsibly. 🧠 Don't own land where you don't reside. 🏠 Do not take anything from the islands. 🪨 Now more than ever you should plan to give more aloha spirit than you intend to receive, especially while Lahaina is still recovering 🌺 #travel #history #sustainability #occupation #Hawaii Watch: https://lnkd.in/gpB5b8iy

Happy Friday! As many of you know, this coming Monday marks Memorial Day here in the United States—a time when people pause to remember and honor those who have given their lives in military service. While this day may be a distinctly American observance, the spirit of remembrance is universal. In the U.K., Remembrance Day falls on November 11, honoring military members who have died in the line of duty. Similarly, in Argentina, the Day of the Veteran and the Fallen in the War of Malvinas on April 2 serves as a time to honor their national heroes. Such days remind us that many nations have set aside time to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, reflecting a universal respect and gratitude that connects us all. ‣ Reflecting on Memorial Day leads us consider the profound impact of those who have served and the lessons we can learn from their dedication and spirit. Across the world, countless men and women have laid down their lives to pursue freedom and peace. This shared history, though marked by the horrors and tragedies of military conflicts and wars, also brings to light the resilience and courage of the human spirit. ‣ What can we learn from them? First and foremost, the importance of service to a cause greater than oneself. Whether on the battlefield, in our communities, or within our company, the concept of service drives us to work not just for personal gain but for the betterment of all. It encourages us to think critically about how we contribute to society and support one another. ‣ We can also recognize their sacrifices by striving for excellence and integrity in everything we do. Our work here might not compare to the gravity of military sacrifice. Still, we can honor their memories by ensuring our efforts and initiatives aim to genuinely improve our communities and environments. ‣ Lastly, the harsh realities of war remind us of the preciousness of peace. As a global team, we have a unique role in fostering understanding and cooperation among diverse groups. Let's embrace this responsibility and strive to be ambassadors of peace through our corporate culture and the services we provide, promoting collaboration over conflict in every interaction.
