2020 brought out clear signs of resilience and courage in a select group of men and women around the world. These heroes faced historic challenges, tragedies, and unbelievable personal strains on top of the daily challenges posed by their vocation. Through all of it, they continued to serve with humility. It’s what they do and if you ask them they will tell you that they are grateful for the opportunity to serve.

I ask everyone to take a second look at what obstacles you may have faced this year then look again at these heroes. Our world could not have survived this year without them.

Please join us in sharing our appreciation for all that they did for us in 2020 and all that they are committed to in 2021.

Thanks to all of the Guardians

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.”

― Douglas MacArthur

“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”

― Abraham Lincoln

“Don’t give to get. Give to Inspire Others to give.”

― Simon Sinek
