What is the essence of greatness?

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Joseph B. Wirthlin 

Reflection: I think he is trying to say that kindness is always going to be one of the best things you can do to help somebody or just to always be kind no matter how. 

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans gather for a day of feasting, football and family. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would likely be unrecognizable to attenders of the original 1621 harvest meal, it continues to be a day for Americans to come together around the table-albeit with some updates to pilgrim’s menu. The arrival of the Pilgrims and Puritans brought new Thanksgiving traditions to the American scene.

“It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.”

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a day to say “thank you” to all veterans who served or are serving for the U.S. It’s celebrated on November 11 which was founded in the 11^th hour of the 11^th day of the 11^th month in 1981.

Reflection: My thoughts are that we should always respect and honor veterans for risking their lives and those who took their lives for our country.
