“Courage, then, my countrymen, our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.” – Samuel Adams, Speech at the State House, Philadelphia, August 1, 1776

Happy 250th Birthday to our U.S. Army.

#FlagDay You're a grand old flag
You're a high-flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You're the emblem of the land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Ev'ry heart beats true
'Neath the Red, White and Blue
Where there's never a boast or brag...
George M Cohan, 1906

Nine years after the Pulse Night Club mass shooting I'm remembering: The 49 who were killed, those who survived, those who responded, their loved ones and my community.
May healing continue.
May we remain strong in our commitment to never let hate win.

Took a few short walks at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge today. It was a lovely way to begin 2025.
