Looks like we need more nurses to cover these white-out counties in Texas. If you are wanting to start a NHG group... reach out to the Texas State Nurse Honor Guard for information. Don't try to do it alone when there is help available to get started.

The Pin That Held History

It is small.
Almost fragile in your hand.
But don’t let its size fool you.

It is not jewelry.
It is the weight of sleepless nights,
the echo of whispered prayers,
the memory of hands held in trembling trust.

This pin belonged to her—
the matron who taught patience with a glance,
courage with a nod,
and sacrifice with every stitch of her uniform.

It belonged to him
who bent over charts and lives alike,
who held dying hands so gently
that hope seemed to linger longer.

Each generation adds a story,
folded into enamel and metal,
engraved in quiet courage,
passed forward in silence, in pride, in honor.

When you pin it to your chest,
you are not wearing a medal.
You are stepping into a river of lives,
a legacy of love,
a line of hands that refused to leave,
hearts that refused to quit.

The world may see only metal.
You see history.
You see blood, sweat, and compassion
woven into a shape no machine can measure.

Time may dull its shine.
Your fingers may tremble, your steps may slow,
but the stories it carries
the courage it bears
will never fade.

Once pinned, you do not wear it for yourself.
You wear it for every life it has touched,
every tear it has soothed,
every soul it has held.

The pin is small.
But the history it holds
is endless.

Because nursing is not what you wear.
It is what you carry.
And some pins carry forever.
