We live in an era of great confusion and disappointment with governance and a general dissatisfaction in our representation in OUR government. Allow me share some memorable advice my granma used to share to me- "things seem to always get worse before they get better", or even more shared, "It's always darkest right before dawn". The idea of "America" was that of a "great experiment", at a time where entire nations were either ruLED by a monarchy or were empires were RULED by emperors, a group of enlightened people conceptualized the idea of a nation ruled by the people. They even postulated a number of scenarios in that! Some were unrealistic, some were marginally laughable. But the concept was so appealing, men were willing to die for it. In the decades around what we today know as America's "Independence Day", this nation developed a principle that would be used over and over in many other lands on this planet. Back to today- I try to remember the advice from my granma when I understand that the experiment is still running, because the settings were never potted in epoxy- Lest we forget that those enlightened people considered that times would change, society would change and thus governance should be able to change to support that change. I won't waste your time talking about the things we should have learned in our civics classes in school, but consider those now... As we celebrate our Independence, let us also remember that the cost of FREEDOM is NEVER FREE- When we are a military protecting the homeland from external influences that would compromise the autonomy of our nation's governance or it's people's freedoms, OR safety. Or, a citizen that understands that we are not expected to leave the governance of our country to someone else, but that a government "Of, WE the People" means that what we have is the product of our contributions, or lack there of... Make America what you expect it to be, make YOUR contributions to it- participate in the government of it, scrutinize the abilities and effectiveness of those you choose to represent you in government, consider what happens to the governance as that representative exploits your representation- we are NOT choosing leaders here folks- we are CHOOSING those that REPRESENT our expectations in the governance of this "Nation built on the GREAT EXPERIMENT... Happy 4th of July- Let Freedom Ring!

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this day. Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and dedication remind us of the true cost of freedom and the importance of unity and resilience. Lessons Learned: Sacrifice: The selflessness shown by our fallen heroes teaches us the value of putting others before ourselves. Resilience: Despite challenges, we must stay strong and committed to our goals, much like those who served our nation. Unity: In times of hardship, coming together as a community is crucial. Let’s support one another and foster a culture of collaboration and respect. What to Remember: Honor and Respect: Always keep in mind the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. Show respect and gratitude for their service. Reflection and Gratitude: Use this day to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and express gratitude to those who protect them. Commitment to Values: Uphold the values of integrity, dedication, and service in all aspects of life, both personally and professionally. Wishing everyone a peaceful and reflective Memorial Day weekend. Let’s remember and honor those who have given everything for our freedom. #MemorialDay #Leadership #RememberAndHonor Thoughtwave Software and Solutions #LessonsLearned

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I am a second-generation Italian American. My grandfather immigrated to the United States for a better life for his family in the “land of opportunity,” a huge risk all immigrants share. My father, mother, brother-in-law’s father, Sam Yoshihara, and my father-in-law, Don Heath, all served in WWII. They all embodied faith, took risks (real bullets, real death), and showed empathy in fighting against tyranny and oppression (both outside and in the United States). Their sacrifices are a powerful reminder, 'To whom much is given, much is expected.' We are the beneficiaries of their sacrifices and faith. We must use these blessings to create positive change. Are we actively seeking positive change, or are we complacent? Are we willing to take the same risks our predecessors did to stand against tyranny? Are we empathetic to the struggles of others, or are we self-centered and inflexible in our viewpoints? Their sacrifice was for positive change—to improve the world for their families and everyone. On Memorial Day, we honor sacrifice, but the best way to honor sacrifice is to take action — in your faith (in God and country), embrace risk (look forward), and show empathy to others daily. #MemorialDay #ItalianAmerican #Honor #Change #Sacrifice

Amy Bowe 📝👇🏼 Thank you for sharing this ❤️ “Today, ~2 billion people around the world are observing Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. On a day traditionally celebrated with joyous feasts, one group of people that will not be celebrating in the same way are the 2.2 million people of Gaza, at least 85% of which are displaced and 50% of which are experiencing starvation, with the other 50% in food crisis or emergency. In addition to the humanitarian catastrophe, the conflict also represents an environmental catastrophe. A study published in December by a team of researchers from Queen Mary University and Lancaster University in the UK and the Climate and Community Project in the US, attempted to estimate the climate impact of the war, including: 💥 6,990 kilotonnes CO2 equivalent (KtCO2e) emissions related to Israeli defense spending based on its 2019 military budget of US$20.3 billion. In February, Israel passed an amended budget for 2023-2024 that saw defence spending increase 85% over pre-war levels to $32.6 billion. On this basis, emissions associated with Israeli military spending would equate to 11,215 KtCO2e, roughly the size of North Macedonia’s Scope 1 emissions. 💥 281 KtCO2e in emissions directly associated with the conflict during the first 60 days, including fighter jets, supply planes, artillery, tanks and vehicles. If we extend that analysis for the full 185 days of the conflict so far, direct emissions would equate to 866 KtCO2e. 💥 30,000 ktCO2e for reconstruction based on 100,000 buildings destroyed in the first 60 days. As of mid-March, the number of buildings estimated to have been destroyed totalled 157,200, which would increase the emissions associated with reconstruction to 47,160 ktCO2e. In aggregate, emissions associated with these three categories would total more than 59,241 ktCO2e, roughly equivalent to Portugal’s emissions. And the war rages on . . . The researchers were quick to admit the limitations of the study. Emissions from military operations remain under-analysed; according to the UNEP’s 2023 Emissions Gap report, military emissions are “insufficiently accounted” for by the UNFCCC. Using the “mortality cost of carbon” metric developed by Columbia University researcher Daniel Bressler in 2021, these emissions would result in ~13,360 excess deaths between now and 2100. That still pales in comparison to the more than 33,000 lives and counting that have been lost in the conflict in the past seven months. This Eid, let us all pray, regardless of our religious affiliations, for a permanent end to the hostilities. Even better, let us actively call on our governments to end the hostilities.
Wishing a joyous and prosperous Eid to those celebrating today!
