Honor our Veterans & Soldiers this Memorial Day
Memorial Day isn’t just about a long weekend road trip, a backyard barbecue with friends and family or retail sales.
The real meaning of the national holiday is much more somber. Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial holiday honors all soldiers who died during service to the nation.
Memorial Day was declared a national holiday through an act of Congress in 1971, and its roots date back to the Civil War era, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Unlike Veterans Day, Memorial Day honors all
Military Members who have died while
Serving and Protecting our Country.
In 2000 The National Moment of Remembrance Act – which created the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance encourages all to pause at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence which was signed into law by Congress and President George W. Bush, the eldest son of former President George H. W. Bush, as the 41st U.S. president from 1989 to 1993.
Please take time this Memorial Day to honor our American Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

The Situation Room:
The Inside Story of Presidents in Crisis
by George Stephanopoulos (Author)
George Stephanopoulos, the legendary political news host and former advisor to President Clinton, recounts the history-making crises from the place where twelve presidents made their highest-pressure decisions: the White House Situation Room.
No room better defines American power and its role in the world than the White House Situation Room. And yet, none is more shrouded in secrecy and mystery. Created under President Kennedy, the Sit Room has been the epicenter of crisis management for presidents for more than six decades. Time and again, the decisions made within the Sit Room complex affect the lives of every person on this planet. Detailing close calls made and disasters narrowly averted, THE SITUATION ROOM will take readers through dramatic turning points in a dozen presidential administrations, including:
- The extraordinary scene when President Carter asked for help from secret government psychics to rescue American hostages in Iran
- A vivid retelling of the harrowing hours during the 9/11 attack
- New details from Obama administration officials leading up to the raid on Osama Bin Laden
- And a first-ever account of January 6th from the staff inside the Sit Room
THE SITUATION ROOM is the definitive, past-the-security-clearance look at the room where it happened, and the people—the famous and those you’ve never heard of—who have made history within its walls. Available at: Amazon

Learning to Love Midlife!
Why Life Gets Better with Age
New York Times bestselling author and co-founder/CEO of The Modern Elder Academy inspires readers to embrace Midlife as a time of joy in this “Clear Blueprint for Creating the Lives we want”
The midlife crisis is the butt of so many jokes, but this long-derided life stage has an upside. What if we could re-frame our thinking about the natural transition of midlife not as a crisis, but as a chrysalis—a time when something profound awakens in us, as we shed our skin, spread our wings, and pollinate our wisdom to the world?
In learning to Love Midlife, Chip Conley offers an alternative narrative to the way we commonly think of our 40s, 50s and 60s. Drawing on the latest social science research, inspiring stories, and timeless wisdom, he reveals 12 reasons why life gets better with age. They include:
- The relief of “My body doesn’t define me:” We finally grow comfortable in our own skin
- Stepping off the treadmill: We redefine what a successful life looks like
- The “Great Midlife Edit:” We let go of our emotional baggage, mindsets, and obligations that no longer serve us
- Growing whole: We begin to feel a part of something bigger than ourselves
No matter where you are in your midlife journey, this perspective‑shifting guide will inspire you to find joy, purpose and success in the years that lie ahead—and how those years can be your best ones yet. Amazon
