Carpe diem

In honor of those who have given their lives to protect others and to protect the United States of America, I challenge each of us to seize this day to make a choice. That choice will be either to accept things as they are, or to question and challenge status quo.

There is so much for us to learn and only one shot at this time in this body. Today can be your day to make a difference.

Perhaps if we truly learn from history, we can avoid repeating the same mistakes. Our loved ones gave and died, so that we have the freedoms given to us by our founding fathers.

Read a book. Read to a child. Read to an adult. Attend a memorial service. Put your hand over your heart and recite the pledge of allegiance. Laugh, love, cry. Most of all, as a leader, decide to make a difference and then do it.

Learn something knew each day. Wake up with a great attitude and lead by example.

Dedicate your life to a greater mission.

We debate issues such as global warming. What if the non-believers are wrong, do we want to continue to destroy our planet? Can't we do the right thing and be good stewards of our environment, our communities, our businesses, our families?

Open your mind, your eyes, your heart, your ears. Take in all the information that your brain can process and more. And then speak from your heart, with sincerity, about those issues that are most important.

Draft your family members, your friends, your associates, your employees. Your new corps will lead us in peace, prosperity, greater health for each of us and generations to come.

In memory of all our fallen heroes, I salute you. We will use the freedoms you have given us to make our country and our world a better place, when we leave it than when we entered.

In silence.....and in thanks...
