Forever Grateful and Always Remembered: Honoring Our Heroes on Memorial Day 2024 As we gather with loved ones and reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform, let us pause to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. It's more than just a long weekend—it's a time to honor those who gave their lives in service to our nation, ensuring that the freedoms we hold dear endure for generations to come. The Ultimate Sacrifice: Our freedoms are not abstract concepts—they are intricately woven into the fabric of sacrifice. The men and women of the Armed Services have shouldered the burden of defending our way of life, often paying the ultimate price. Their courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment have secured the liberties we enjoy today. As we fire up the grill and gather for picnics, let's remember that these freedoms were hard-won, and they come with a debt of gratitude—one that can never truly be repaid. Hug Your Loved Ones: As the sun sets on this Memorial Day, take a moment to hug your loved ones a little tighter. Cherish the laughter, the shared stories, and the simple joys of being together. Remember that countless families have an empty seat at their table—a seat once occupied by a son, daughter, sibling, or parent who made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us honor their memory by embracing the precious moments we have with our own families and by praying for those who are remembering loved ones who sacrificed for our freedoms. #ForeverGrateful #MemorialDay2024 #RememberTogether #SolveforNEXT

Honoring Memorial Day Respect and Reflection As we approach Memorial Day, it's important to remember that this day is not about self promotion or personal gain. It is a solemn occasion to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Here are some respectful ways to commemorate their memory without making it about ourselves: Attend a Memorial Service: Participate in a local ceremony or virtual event to show your respect, not to showcase your presence. Visit a Memorial or Cemetery: Pay your respects quietly by visiting a war memorial or a veteran's cemetery, without turning it into a photo opportunity. Support Gold Star Families: Offer genuine support to families who have lost loved ones in service, rather than using it as a platform for your own visibility. Educate Yourself and Others: Learn and share the stories of those who served and sacrificed, focusing on their bravery rather than your role in sharing the story. Pause for a Moment of Silence: At 3 p.m. local time, join the National Moment of Remembrance, not for show but out of genuine respect. Volunteer: Dedicate your time to veteran organizations or causes that support our service members and their families, keeping the focus on their needs rather than your contributions. This Memorial Day, let’s commit to reflection, gratitude, and truly honoring the memories of our fallen heroes. It's about their sacrifice, not our self-promotion. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #Gratitude #Respect

MAKIN' MOVES...MEMORIAL DAY EDITION... On this day...pools open, people have a "lake day", the beaches are packed...Summer officially kicks off for many...but it's much more than that!! Just a little background on this holiday... Memorial Day, a significant American holiday, honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Its origins date back to the Civil War, a conflict that claimed more lives than any other in American history and required the establishment of the country's first national cemeteries. The precise origins of Memorial Day are a bit cloudy, with numerous towns and cities claiming to be its birthplace. However, in 1966, the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. This recognition was based on a ceremony held there on May 5, 1866, during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday was intended to honor the Union soldiers who had died during the Civil War. By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 across the nation, with state legislatures passing proclamations designating the day and the Army and Navy adopting regulations for observing it at their facilities. After World War I, Memorial Day was expanded to honor all Americans who died in military service. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, and its observance was moved to the last Monday in May to create a three-day weekend. Today, Memorial Day is celebrated with various traditions, including visiting cemeteries and memorials, holding parades, and participating in the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time. It's a time for Americans to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have fought for their country and to remember the true cost of freedom. Today isn't about Makin' Moves...it's about remembering and saying thank you!! To those who have served and sacrificed so that the rest of us may live in a place that allows us the freedom to chase our dreams, live free and speak our minds... Thank you!! #harvestpropertiesgroup #realestateinvesting #passiveincome #viveequity #cashflow #wealth #financialfreedom #vivepropertymanagement #makinmoves #barbaricyawp

Customers are expecting emails during Memorial Day weekend. However… Don’t let your brand forget what Memorial Day is all about. Here is what we are doing: 1) Emails start going out today and carry through Memorial Day. 2) Offers will be decent, but we are NOT a discount brand. This is not one of our “sale pillars” and will not be treated like so. 3) Every email will be thanking our veterans, those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice, as well as all dogs who served! 4) 10% of all proceeds during the weekend will go to The Warrior Dog Foundation. #3 coupled with #4 > #2 Sales are great. Boosting revenue is awesome. Watching orders flow in is phenomenal. But being a good human being wins every time. Don’t forget that. Don’t forget what Memorial Day is all about.

Your Memorial Day, Sunday Message... Forgive that I am called to preach a little now and then, not to speak truth to power, but to assert the power of truth. We mostly ignore our 'Military, Day of the Dead', not out of disrespect, but because war is no longer noteworthy, and in fact, as a nation we have seen very little peace since reluctantly being dragged into WWII. We have purposefully made ourselves a target for nations who have yet to work out their social contract, power and economic relationships, and who actually resent our insistence on doing things our way. Our reputation is infamous as one who destroys what it cannot control and exploit. So what began as the North's tribute to those who died to preserve the Federal government over State governments and make America a real 'nation', through the years has become an annual acknowledgement that we are still willing to sacrifice primarily young Americans, and now immigrant lives, to eat better, sleep better, and thumb our noses at the rest of the world we don't yet control. Sadly, no one asks, or is allowed to ask, could there be another way - even a better way?? What would be the profit in that? If there were in fact more profit in another path, you can bet we would be on it. Memorial Day is the official start of summer for most Americans. It's not much of a stretch to believe that Americans grow weary of war and the jingoism of so many hate and fear campaigns. The Military is now seen by many as one of the better 'work programs' available to the growing number of economically disadvantaged. But people are gradually realizing that death in the defense of someone's investments and corporate bank accounts is no virtue - it's only a funereal reminder of the failure of our leadership, and the bankruptcy of their vision for America's future. If you plan to pray on Monday, for our fallen dead, you might consider an additional prayer for leadership that considers dying for one's country, or any country, only the last, desperate resort for our own sovereignty, and not the default gambit for empire.

Honor a Veteran for Memorial Day On this Memorial Day, I am honoring my Uncle Romie who was a cook in the army. He was a Forest Ranger and dressed up as Smokey the Bear to do education programs for the local community. He would climb the fire tower and look for forest fires in the national forests. His fire tower was like the one in the photo. Uncle Romie looked for something to laugh about because he reported me to my Mom for hitting boys with my red purse on the playground in elementary school which was across the road from his fire tower. I know he saw this as a random act of kindness for the boys on the playground and for me, too. I did stop the behavior after my Mom explained this would limit my supply of purses. The biggest win you can have for your organization or business is to focus on what value your strategy creates for your customers, employees, and community. Like Uncle Romie, finding the good in things and the value you bring to others is one of the keys to developing your strategy. The value is in the eyes of the beholder. What can you start doing to communicate your value to the person you are presenting to or serving? What can you stop doing that does not add value to the person you are presenting to or serving? What new strategy can you create to honor a veteran in your community? What is a random act of kindness you can do today to honor a veteran in your life? #strategy #OwnYourValue #MemorialDay #RandomActofKindness Photo of a Fire Tower in East Texas.
