National Uniform Day: Celebrating the People Who Keep Our World Running
When you think of a uniform, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s a firefighter’s gear, a nurse’s scrubs, a construction worker’s safety vest, or the polished attire of someone serving your favorite meal. The reality is that uniforms are all around us and the people who wear them are among the most diverse, dedicated, and essential members of our communities.
On National Uniform Day, we celebrate the tens of millions of uniform wearers who span industries, backgrounds, and skill sets. What unites them is a shared commitment to…
Inspiration

Sadly we seem to get too many reminders about the things that truly matter in life because these…

Boston Strong
This past weekend I watched the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia. It is a 10-mile run right through the center of the city. My son and his fiancée were running in it for the first time. It was a beautiful day for a run – clear skies and cool weather. Thousands of people lined the…
