Do you take the time to grieve your losses? Most of us don't because we don't fully appreciate the importance of grieving and we are not taught how to do it. Today is #NationalGriefAwarenessDay - the day dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of loss and productive ways to cope with it. Grief is the internal meaning given to the experience of loss - what we think and feel on the inside such as fear, loneliness, panic, pain, yearning, anxiety, emptiness etc. Loss is particularly prevalent in the U.S. Armed Forces. Some examples include frequent job changes and relocations, friends we leave behind or battle buddies lost in war. Soul Injury can occur if we are not self aware and don’t actively process loss.

Today is #NationalWomen'sEqualityDay, the anniversary of three generations of an unrelenting and courageous political campaigning of women when, in 1920 we won the right to vote. This day emphasizes the importance of women’s work for democracy. Today I want to highlight the important work women do in the armed forces. Women receive equal pay for equal work and serve in most military roles, providing them more career advancement opportunities. Do you know the women Veterans in your community? If not, I encourage you to listen closely and inquire if you suspect a woman may have served. A good place to start is to ask a woman married to a military man if she ever served. Dual military couples are more common than you'd think. Join the Veteran Champion Movement. Be a part of the win! #VanguardVeteran #BeaPartofTheWin #NationalWomensEqualityDay

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Senator John McCain, who passed away on August 25, 2018. McCain was not only a dedicated public servant but also a heroic veteran. Serving as a naval aviator during the Vietnam War, he demonstrated extraordinary courage and resilience, enduring years as a prisoner of war. His unwavering commitment to our nation continued through his distinguished career in the Senate, where he was a powerful advocate for Veterans' rights and national security. Let’s remember his contributions and celebrate the indomitable spirit of a true American hero. 🇺🇸 Join the Veteran Champion Movement.

I told James Mayer during my interview on his “The Manufacturing Culture” podcast that being a civilian Veteran Champion is not “Rocket Science, it's People Science.” A discussion that focused on workplace culture, we emphasized that It’s important when supporting Veterans to go beyond words and act by actively listening, building personal relationships, offering practical support, and cultivating a sense of belonging. James is convinced that combining this approach with the benefits Veterans bring to manufacturing like a safety mindset, operational discipline, leadership skills, and technical aptitudes offers great talent potential for small to medium-sized manufacturers.
