Women lead our most lethal units with character, tweeted Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael Grinston, the service’s top enlisted leader. They will dominate ANY future battlefield we’re called to fight on. @TuckerCarlson’s words are divisive, don’t reflect our values. We have THE MOST professional, educated, agile, and strongest [noncommissioned officer] Corps in the world. https://thehill.com//542744-military-leaders-hit-tucker-ca

What’s that thing you’ve always wanted to do but keep putting off? What’s that thing that you don’t tell anyone about but you really want to do? What’s that thing you keep telling yourself stories about why you can’t do it?... That thing that it isn’t the right time for or that you will be ready to start soon? Whatever it is, start doing it.

As women have become a larger part of the military force over the decades, policies to address their unique health care needs have adapted and changed dramatically. However, there remain critical gaps in essential health care services that significantly impact the reproductive health and psychological well-being of female service members.

The Department of Defense continues to introduce physically demanding requirements for both men and women, yet little research has been done to address the possibility of an outdated body composition standard that may place more emphasis on being thin versus being fit.

FREE. OPEN TO PUBLIC! How big are you willing to go this year? 100 days of accountability with me. We will check in together every day. All fitness levels and abilities welcome (you can chose your own rep count). Invite your friends, I support peer pressure when it comes to fitness LETSSGOOOOO!... ________________INFO_________________ If 100 pushups is too much, you may increase or decrease reps relative to your capacity. This challenge is designed to build (train) daily commitment to a goal. I believe this commitment will pay dividends both physically and mentally as you train to endure. Endurance is the decision to show up and do the work, every single day. Endurance isn’t easy. It requires commitment, renewed moment by moment. https://www.facebook.com/groups/484834039163165

"In this challenging year, we are extremely proud that we were able to serve our community with more programs and services than any other year. When COVID-19 hit, GPVN took immediate action to help our community. We provided various services to those affected the most: FREE business coaching (services), Leading During A Crisis (webinar), Achieving Success Through Adversity (webinar) and How To Hire Veterans (virtually). In addition, we held more frequent Veteran Business ...Referral Network (VBRN) programs hosting some of countries top business and military thought leaders. They include The Wingman (Rob Waldo Waldman) and MG (Army ret) David H. Petraeus. In the fall, we kept the tradition in holding our Student Veteran Speed Interviewing and Networking (Virtually). Our Operations Manager, Ashley Owens, created an incredible candidate engagement experience with potential employers, so they could interview one-on-one online. Lastly, COVID has made starting or growing a business challenging. We knew this year more than ever our Veteran Entrepreneurs needed us, so we pivoted our Veteran Shark Tank to a virtual experience and awarded another $50,000." Wishing our entire #PhillyVets community a happy and prosperous New Year! #phillyvets

It’s possible I’ll never stop sharing Ellie’s story. I want her to know that GOODNESS exists and that HOPE is real. I believe we are the recipe for her, and all of the children like her, to stay strong and win this battle. https://www.fox29.com//aston-girl-battling-neuroblastoma-s

This year students at Villanova produced a documentary about Philadelphia area veterans. This documentary highlights some of the challenges, and victories that these veterans have had in their lives. We are hosting a screening on Veterans Day (Nov 11, 7pm), and you are invited. It is a virtual event, and I think you will enjoy the film. It highlights area veterans to include me, my good friends Timmy Wynn, Michael Woody, Patrick J. Murphy, and Ralph Galati. Please share this... with anyone you think may be interested. It is open to the public. I hope you can make it, and learn more about veterans. The trailer is linked below, as is the event link.

Then, go out and spread all the love and kindness you can. The world is waiting!

A remarkable story of duty and courage. The Silver Star at just 18 Years old: (Then) Private First Class Monica Lin Brown served as a medic in Army. She deployed to Afghanistan at the age of 18 with the 4th Squadron, 73d Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. When her convoy came under attack on April 25, 2007, she braved explosions and enemy fire to treat the wounded. One vehicle hit an IED and exploded. Brown moved through small arms fire to t...he vehicle and began moving casualties away from the wreckage. She treated them only 15 meters from the burning vehicle. Enemy mortars began falling around, and ammo inside the vehicle started cooking off. Shrapnel and bullets filled the air all around from incoming enemy mortars and exploding friendly mortar rounds, 40mm grenades, and 5.56 ammo on the truck. Other soldiers arriving discovered that, miraculously, Brown was still alive. They moved her and the wounded to another area, where Brown continued her treatment and preparations for medevac. For her courage and unselfishness remaining with the wounded and protecting them amidst the most dangerous conditions, Brown was awarded the Silver Star. The ceremony came a year after the action and her promotion to Specialist.

This is just a small preview of the enormous Workhorse outdoor venue. One half of the parking lot will be for tailgating- links for table and time reservations ...to come soon). The other side is to be tented off by 2, 20x40 tents with FOUR big screens underneath for riders and their teams to take on Ruff Ride 2020.
