“All gave some. Some gave all.” This meaningful quote is attributed to Howard William Osterkamp of Dent, Ohio, a Korean War Veteran and purple heart recipient. It’s one of the most powerful and genuine ways of honoring those who died in #service of our country. And to those, we remember, honor and will never forget. #MemorialDay

I specialize in helping individuals, organizations & communities deepen their ability to deal with rapid change and upsets.
That is an insightful history lesson.
KNOW YOUR HISTORY: Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated. Origins: The custom of holding observances (including the laying of flowers on burial sites) to remember and honor those who gave their lives in military service goes back many hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In the United States, that custom has long since been formalized in the creation of Memorial Day (formerly known as Decoration Day), a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Traditionally, every year the President of the United States (or, in his absence, another high-ranking government official) visits Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day to honor all those Americans who have died in military service to their country by participating in a symbolic wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

Freedom isn’t free
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Take a moment to look at his face. This 19-year-old American soldier on D-Day had one mission: to retrieve fallen comrades from the blood-red waters of Utah Beach. For 12 grueling hours, he used his bare hands to drag lifeless bodies ashore, one after another, until he collapsed from exhaustion. Look at his face. You can see it—the price of freedom. 90% of the soldiers on the first boats didn't survive the day. Many never reached 18, never voted, got married, or owned a home. They did this for us. Live lives worthy of their sacrifice. Honor their memory. Stand strong for our values. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay

🇺🇸 9/11 We Will Never Forget... 🇺🇸 I recall September 11th, 2001 as I watched the events unfold on one of those morning news shows in disbelief. I remember thinking, "People should move; that building is going to fall," just moments before it tragically did. I remember viewing the New York City broadcasts of people covered in dust and feeling helpless. I tried calling my family in New York, only to get a busy signal. Reflecting on those moments is a humbling, one that helps me connect with others on a deeply personal level, both in my personal and professional life. It reminds me that life, as Langston Hughes beautifully wrote it, "ain't be no crystal stair" for anyone. We all face challenges, some more daunting than others, but it's in these moments of adversity that we find the strength to rise. In every tragedy, there is an opportunity to overcome, to rebuild, and to become better than before. The resilience of the human spirit shines through, as we rebuild not only our lives but also our communities. The events of 9/11 serve as a stark reminder that in the face of adversity, we can unite and grow stronger together. Today, as we remember 9/11, I am committed to building stronger communities. In my journey, I strive to be present, to listen, and to guide others who seek real estate and veteran entrepreneurial services. It's through these actions that we can honor the memory of those we lost on that day and continue to build a better tomorrow for all. 🇺🇸 #NeverForget #September11 #StrongerTogether #CommunityBuilding
🕊️ United in Remembrance 🕊️ Today, we remember all the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

As we remain a strong unified nation, let us reaffirm our commitment to freedom, resilience, and hope through our careers and businesses. Take a moment to reflect and share with us your memory of the day and how you will honor the courage of those who gave their lives on this day. #PatriotDay #NeverForget #UnitedWeStand #UnitedWeRemember #TributeToHeroes #HonoringHeroes

Memorial Day is different than Veterans Day. Please don’t thank a veteran for our service on Memorial Day. Veterans understand and appreciate your intentions; however, #MemorialDay honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation in war and peace. Instead, you might ask that #veteran or #GoldStarFamily Member how they plan to remember the brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, friends and loved ones who gave “the last full measure of devotion.” Some other ideas before enjoying the holiday include: - Learning more about the history of Memorial Day (https://lnkd.in/gnUY3Ky) - Learning more about our Gold Star Families (Home - America's Gold Star Families ( https://lnkd.in/g2SZYb6P) - Observing a moment of silence at 3:00 p.m. local time (National Moment of Remembrance - The Memorial Day Foundation, https://lnkd.in/g-TnNRqq) - Learning more about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Sentinels who guard the fallen (Society of the Honor Guard, tombguard.org or https://lnkd.in/g6PrYXsQ) - Visiting a local #VACemetery (https://lnkd.in/g2YjRyUR) - Testing your Memorial Day knowledge: https://lnkd.in/g-Apb48u - Or come up with your own ideas. #poppies
