The Lucky One

This week I had the honor to hear a Wounded Solider share his life. His discussion took us down the path of becoming the lucky one in the room. However, every step of his journey made me think about being the lucky one to have someone like him defending the nation, being a role model for others and reminding us life is what you make it.

Just when you think you are having a bad day or life is hard take a moment and walk outside, look around and breath in the air. This is a privilege we shouldn't take for granite. In some countries stepping outside your view might be of war or you may have to wear a mask due to pollution. These are things we as a country work hard at keeping way from reaching our borders and homeland.

Next time you are having a bad day, take a moment to meet Master Sgt. Jeffrey Mittman by reading his journey at:
