The Ned & Ned's Club’s Post

Tracey ann Nazarenus: I agree 100%. Also we should add beekeepers, fuel workers (soon, I hope), drillers, skilled tradespeople, who are in high demand. How about teachers, childcare professionals, doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinarians. Our military, and first responders who are regularly in my prayers. All so much more important in my opinion than Celebrities. Maybe solve the student loan debt problem by having more people go to trade schools for jobs society really needs, like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, gutter and roof installers, craftsmen, contractors, mechanics, computer repair, HVAC. Much less time in school, lower cost for education, can make good money practically right when they finish their training and certification.

No truer words..

Today, we pause to honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Memorial Day is not just a long weekend or a chance to fire up the grill. It’s a solemn reminder of the courage and selflessness displayed by countless individuals who laid down their lives so we can enjoy the liberties we often take for granted. Their bravery is the bedrock of our freedom, and their legacy is a beacon of hope and resilience. As someone deeply invested in leadership and community development, I find profound lessons in their sacrifice. Here are three key insights that resonate with me: 1️⃣ Courage in the Face of Adversity: True leadership shines brightest in challenging times. The bravery of our fallen heroes teaches us that facing adversity head-on, with unwavering resolve, is the hallmark of a great leader. In our professional lives, let’s channel this courage to tackle obstacles and drive innovation. 2️⃣ Selflessness and Service: The ultimate act of giving is to put others before oneself. This selflessness is a cornerstone of effective leadership and community building. Let’s strive to create environments where we support and uplift each other, fostering a culture of mutual growth and success. 3️⃣ Legacy of Impact: The sacrifices of our heroes remind us that our actions today shape the world of tomorrow. In our careers and personal lives, let’s focus on creating a positive, lasting impact. Whether it’s mentoring a colleague, leading a project, or driving community initiatives, every effort counts. On this Memorial Day, let’s reflect on these lessons and honor the memory of those who gave all. Take a moment to recognize the contributions of individuals in your network who embody these values. Give them a shoutout, connect them with others, and help amplify their impact. Let’s make this Memorial Day not just a day of remembrance, but a day of action and appreciation.

Lessons learned from Mr. D: 1. Tell your family how much you love them multiple times a day. 2. Keep the door of your home open to friends and family for a great meal and cold drink. 3. Keep the pool ice cold, not sure why but it's super memorable. 4. Coach and volunteer in your town. 5. Always be willing to drive kids home after practice, regardless of how far from your home they live. 6. Love and respect your country and neighbors no exceptions Happy Memorial Day!

In honor of Memorial Day, we recognize the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our nation. Your bravery will forever inspire us.🇺🇸❤️ #SecuritySolutions #ProtectWhatMatters #TailoredSecurity #EventSecurity #SafetyFirst #privatesecurity #homesecurity #securitymanagement #secureyourbusiness #secureyourfuture

Our tradition is to share President Washington’s National Day of Thanksgiving Proclamation. We encourage you to read Washington’s brief message or view the video below.  Reviewing our U.S. history, we recall that the Revolutionary War ravaged our country, beginning in 1775 and lasting more than eight years until it ended in 1783. President Washington and the founding leaders of our country were working toward peace within our great nation. President Washington established Thanksgiving as an opportunity “to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.” It's easy to dwell on our differences and opinions, but we can agree that the United States is the greatest country in the world, and we owe our gratitude to God for being able to live here. Thanksgiving Day is a day of prayer and reflection. It’s a day when we celebrate our similarities, not differences. It's unique because it’s a day dedicated to being with those we love. The day is about camaraderie, hugs, food, and hanging out together—whether attending a parade, watching football, or playing games. It’s a blessing to share these simple and traditional joys.  Happy Thanksgiving! https://lnkd.in/g6XZc_Kz https://lnkd.in/gKADZUrr   #DrivenToDeliver #carhaulindustry #logistics #thanksgiving #givethanks #blessed #blessings

As we approach Memorial Day, a solemn day of remembrance and reflection, it's disheartening to see the usual trend of retailers remaining open, prioritizing profits over pause. While I understand the dynamics of commerce, this day should be an exception. It's a day to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, not a day for sales and revenue. Equally conflicting are the posts that will soon flood our feeds, offering thanks to our veterans while simultaneously promoting profit-generating activities. This dichotomy does not sit well with me. Memorial Day is not just another holiday; it's a day of national reverence. I urge businesses and individuals alike in the future, to consider the true meaning of this day. Let's dedicate it to genuine reflection and honor, not to the pursuit of profit. Let's show our respect not just in words but in actions that align with the spirit of Memorial Day. #MemorialDay #Honor #Reflection #Respect 🇺🇸🫡
