Bravery. Courage. Duty. Honor. Respect.

I had the privilege of serving as an honor guard on the hallowed ground of France during the 50th anniversary commemoration of D-Day.

In that brief moment, those five words became more than lessons from a history book; they became something I could feel in my bones, alive in the air around me.

I stood not on the sidelines of history, but within it. I chose to be part of our nation’s story, not merely a spectator watching from a distance. What I did not fully understand then was how profoundly that single day would shape my life.

Those events belonged to the past, yet in many ways they became part of my future. OUR FUTURE! Standing among the memories of sacrifice and valor, I prayed that if history ever called again, I would have the bravery and courage to step forward.

Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day and all who have worn, and continue to wear, the mantle of service in defense of the United States of America.

May God bless their souls,
and may God continue to bless our nation.

🇺🇸 Never forget.

My beautiful wife of 31 years had to pinch me last night to make sure I wasn’t listening to my own obituary.

I am deeply grateful and humbled to receive the Jerry Scarano Achievement Award and to be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Club of Seven Springs Florida.

Thank you to the outgoing president and board for your impeccable service to the children and families of Pasco County and our surrounding areas and districts.

And congratulations to the incoming president and board as we continue our journey to support Rotary International and the children and families in our communities.

With six generations overlapping during this Fourth Turning crisis, our failure to pause, reflect, and forge a common path forward could push the United States beyond polarization and into open civil unrest; not on our children's watch, but on ours.

The evidence points to a fifth dimension of intelligence that remains largely overlooked. It may be the critical factor that even Sigmund Freud missed, and the key to preventing another civil war.

Take the free assessment and see if it's accurate about your generation. Then take it from the lens of your child and see the difference.

Our nation’s future is only as bright as our students, not just their diplomas.

Graduation rates matter, but they can’t be the only scoreboard. It’s time to measure what really counts: student mastery, postsecondary success, and readiness for work, service, and citizenship.

It's time to get politics out of our schools and focus on education. PERIOD!

Over 10,000 students in grades 3–12 representing all 50 states, 5 U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia submitted original artwork and writing in response to the prompt, “What does America mean to you?”

Out of the 250 winners, one is from Naples, Florida. This writing is amazing:

Writing by Lauren S.
10th Grade | Naples, Florida

America is not just a place on a map
Not only flags painted in vivid shades of red white and blue
America is a dream
A dream our ancestors have willed through early morning promises and late night declarations
A chance to change what they thought was a single sided path
An opportunity of roadways that lead to great success
America is the voices that echo from our past
From Abraham Lincoln to Harriet Tubman America sets diversity into motion
Different stories at the dinner table and different beliefs under the same sky unite us
Our freedom to be unequivocally who we and embrace where we came from sets us apart
Our Freedom break chains
The right to speak up
The right to Worship
The right to question
This makes us America
America is built by its people
The nurses who work night shifts to heal the sick
The teacher that works to spark a new generation of curiosity in every student
The mom who is juggling work, school, and home with an abundance of joy and patience
The janitor quietly keeping our houses and schools clean
The neighbor who checks in and listens with a full heart and helping hands
These are the people who never ask for praise yet strengthen our nation daily
America is the culture we create and pass through generations
The laughter as fireworks burst in the night sky
The roaring cheers of fans on Sunday
The dancing to the music that fills streets and homes with life
The songs that carry us through the hardest times of our lives
These are the moments that make us whole
Through every trial, America endures
The tears of a soldier missing home
The joy as they march back into their family’s arms
Students doubting if they will ever succeed
Then cheers as they cross the stage at graduation
Parents worrying over bills they cannot pay
Then relief as their community steps in to help
Through every year and every triumph, America remains strong
To me, America is built by the people
Not the dreamers, but the workers
The ones who gave everything to give us a chance
The ones who fought for our freedoms
The ones who fought for justice and equality
The ones who quietly shaped our nation into the beauty that it is today
The ones that persevere through hardships and inspired many
To me America is home because of who shaped it
