So true in sports and in business

#ICYMI TMCF Chief Business & Legal Officer David K. Sheppard talks about the significance of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund HBCU Fly-In on The Daily Flash. The HBCU Fly-In is an opportunity for presidents and chancellors from HBCUs and PBIs, legislators, policymakers, and corporate leaders to come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities for HBCUs and PBIs, build on victories from last year, and learn more about where we believe we can make a significant contribution to the development of federal policy that impacts our institutions. https://lnkd.in/dEaQjBAt.

This Veterans Day, I invite you to check out "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson. One of the most egalitarian tenets of the military is its rank-based hierarchy. We aspire to be a true meritocracy, agnostic of race, ethnicity, or gender—and for the most part that is true. But I did not know about the blatant racism during WWII where black Soldiers were marginalized by their white American peers while foreign counterparts (the French!) treated them as equals. Then these black service members were denied U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits introduced by the 1944 GI Bill. Black veterans were not aided in adjusting back to civilian life—no VA home loans, no college education. This further exacerbated inequality with lost generational wealth opportunities. But not everyone took the snub from Uncle Sam as his fate. My neighbor served in WWII. He was in the US Army Signal Corps and climbed towers to catch enemy transmissions. As a former US Navy Signals Intelligence Officer myself, I knew exactly how critical his work was to saving our troops. I was saddened to hear that he threw away his medals in frustration. He channeled that anger into building his family estate, amassing wealth through purchasing and rehabilitating distressed properties. His daughter is now taking care of him as he approaches 98. Today, I salute him. --- It is important to understand our history, including our ugly parts, as we climb that hill. --- #veteransday #americandream #americanhistory https://lnkd.in/gYRbT5bN

The New Milford, CT Mayor proudly violating the Flag Code. The comments are interesting. One said that national flags must be flown from separate masts. ⭐That's correct! A reply to that comment was "the other flags aren't on the mast." ❌That's just ignorance. @newmilfordct It's much easier to understand the application of the Flag Code with a pole or mast that does not have a crosstree and more halyards, I get that. National flags are NEVER flown from the halyards on which you see the flags of Canada and Mexico. Absolutely never. Those halyards are for state, county, and city flags, signal pennants and military unit flags only. The mast halyard is for the national and the another (state or POW) if the crosstree does not interfere with the second flag. I'm conclusion... Flying national flags below another flag, directly or (here) indirectly is highly insulting to the other countries. As a government official, a Mayor is required to adhere to the government's published standards. But, I'm just all tied up in regs and standards. 🔆Education is 🔑! . 🔹Read your manuals!
