Welcome to Wellness!
Today is a day to remember and honor those who made the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
They gave their lives so that we could continue to live safe and free. We can honor them by doing all that we can do today to protect the freedoms that they fought and died for, especially now more than ever, during these very unstable, uncertain and, divisive times.
Below are some memorable quotes from well-know Americans. I hope they help you remain strong and/or give you the courage needed in the face of all that we are dealing with in our country now, and know that it is up to each and every American to do what they can do to keep America safe and free.
"For it has been said, all that a man hath will he give for his life; and while all contribute of their substance, the soldier puts his life at stake and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit, then, is due to the soldier." — Former President Abraham Lincoln
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word." ---Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"America does not simply stand for stability or the absence of conflict, no matter what the cost. We stand for the more lasting peace that can only come through opportunity and freedom for people everywhere." — Former President Barack Obama
"When I was bleeding to death... I didn’t care if the American troops risking their lives to help save me were gay, straight, transgender, black, white, or brown. All that mattered was they didn’t leave me behind.” — Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth
"Real courage was what our troops — my heroes — face every day. Real courage is being willing to give up your right to everything you want for your future, your memories from your past, and even, if need be, your life to make a better place for others." — Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee
“A constitution, as important as it is, will mean nothing unless the people are yearning for liberty and freedom.” — Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future." — Elie Wiesel
Let us strive to show up each and every day as the 'Best Versions" of ourselves.
From my heart to yours,
Coach Cindy
