Today marks the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944...a day that reshaped the course of history. Over 150,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, facing impossible odds with unwavering courage. Many of them were barely older than young teenagers, carrying heavy packs, heavier fears, and the weight of freedom on their backs.
The lessons of D-Day should echo in our daily work and lives. That's how those who stormed the beaches of Normandy would want it to be. Cherish and enjoy your freedom and liberty, but operate with courage, resilience, and service.
Courage is showing up when the odds feel stacked against you.
Resilience is getting knocked down by change and standing back up, even stronger.
Service is putting your skills to work to help others live safer, more secure lives...whether that’s in a home, a family, or a community.
We may not face wartime beaches in our lifetime, but life gives us our own battles. Never lose sight of improving yourself, but dig even deeper to find the courage to help and build a relationship with someone less fortunate. Simple and kind interactions can go a long way.
So today, in honor of those who gave everything on D-Day, let’s remember this:
Bravery isn’t always big. Sometimes it’s quiet, steady, and close to home.
And that kind of bravery we’re all capable of.
