This isn't about a Political Statement, it's about the state of America today. My Son!

Sandy, you know we appreciate the concern.  There's help here as you can see and a nearly constant flow of emails, news links and phone calls keeping the information flowing.  I hope to have an update posted by late tomorrow.  Thank you so much for the continuing encouragement and support.

The feeling is mutual Paul, simply by expressing your view here.  It boils down to sense and sensiblity of which Casa Monica management's facultative choice was not.  

Shar, thanks so much for the advisement.  I had expected it although not made aware until a few hours ago.  I don't believe an interview will happen there though.

Mel, the energy is still flowing thanks to all of the responses which sailed Kessler's way, whether good, bad on indifferent.  The shift is definitely on Sean's behalf and he's been keen to watch how the media manipulates his story.  With no resolution in sight and no official response from Kessler Enterprises up to this point the heels are beginning to be set in place.  I have seen comments regarding several long standing large reservations being canceled there which has to be taking it's toll on Casa Monica's management.  Regarding the ActiveRain support, phenomenal is the first word to my mind.  This has rekindled much faith in humankind also.  Culturally, the support has also come from so many Nationalities who also all say essentially the same thing "No matter what the circumstance, we always root for the 'Home' team."      

Mel, the hotel has been damaged along with the perception of Kessler Enterprise's patriotism and in time they'll find the flaws which need correction.  Sean was not one of them, only the light to see the larger picture.  The situation continues and he remains true to himself which is all a father can ask.  I only see positive things for him as the result of this. 

Jon, you are one of the greatest proponents here.  We can't say enough about having you on our side.  Some of the interest has waned but there remains some National attention which is favorable.  Kessler is staying quiet at this point in the hopes that the attention will fizzle.  In Florida especially, their former customers in the area are on a mission to see them fail.  Kessler and Casa Monica management have committed an inappropriate action in the wrong place and certainly at the wrong time.   

Renee, it's nearly every where I turn now.  The start was at TownHall.com after the Jacksonville FoxNews 4 story.  Some edited well others not so much, mainly all excellent exposure for the most part.  The thrust is knowing you're wearing your American Flag pin proudly.   Mine is on, is yours?  

Susan, there are many who have canceled or reconsidered alternative hotels to push the message across the front desk so to speak.  I am glad you are fired up, the more heat we can muster the better of the whole Country can be.  "Think", it's apparent that was not on the agenda when it came to their Human Resource director's decision.  Thank you so much for voicing your strong sentiment here also! 

Gary, now that he's working it will take some time for me to obtain his summary of the concluded experience.  There are known repercussions to the Kessler Corporation due to this action and I will post Sean's thoughts as an update when received.  By the way, thank you, and know that he is doing well. 

Sean is once again employed.  Any damage was short lived on his part although he states he would welcome the opportunity to work for the Kessler Corporation and The Casa Monica Hotel in an instant if a policy change was implemented.  The Hotel has endured tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue from the publicity even when being within their right to fire him. 

Capturing or should I say re-capturing an image is difficult once tainted in even the most insignificant way.  Now another businees has acquired the resourcefulness, flexibility, motivation and dedication Sean freely offers.  He's of the mindset if I can make the business prosper so shall I.  This will take him far and has already opened doors for him from several directions.  There's a desire to do well which eludes many young adults today.

Ephesians 6:13   Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Sean has reached a settlement with Casa Monica and Kessler Corporation.  Their relationship is forever severed, reaching amicable terms for both parties.  Both can move forward now without interference from the other.  That being said, the underlying message has been sent and continues, albeit silently. 

Lynn, we're a little more comfy temperature-wise but I am so glad to hear from you.  I try to end each day on a high note.  Thank you for adding happiness to my day already.
