Today is National Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance Day. This day is meant to inspire the tradition of engaging in charitable service.

I can’t think of a better way to honor those who served us on 9-11 and on so many other days in our history. My daughter and I decided to donate to our local Salvation Army and spend time picking up trash in our neighborhood. I hope to expand on this concept as my daughter gets older. My family will be forever grateful to all members of our community that serve to make it a better place to live.
