Wednesday Edition for 5/6/2020 - Blue Angels Salute

Awe! Thank you Lanette Branch! You made my day in the most positive way.  Whatever we do. Wherever we go. No matter what happens we must carry inside courage. confidence, compassion, and hope. As for doctors, nurses, and first repsonders, no matter how exhaused they are  they keep on giving all that they can and adapt.

George Souto I hope you viewed the video I included. There are a lot of youtubes out there now of people who witnessed the Blue Angels. Personally, I think they really are our angels on earth. 

Wendy Rulnick - Destin must be a great place to live. I can only imagine how captivating it is to see and hear them practice. Shelter-in-Place could never apply in their line of work. 

Kevin Mackessy - Can you feel the love coming from up in the skies of Colorado?  Nothing compares to Blue Angles! 

Lindsay Reagan, Realtor - Be it ever so humble, there's nothing more courteously respectful than honoring the Blue Angels, our nurses, doctors, and First Responders. .

Susan Laxson CRS - the Media is a source of more than just the news. If it leans in too long, too much on depressing stories it can turn viewers into addicts. I'm glad you found something positive to watch. Lost dogs being reunited with loved ones sounds like it tugs on all the right heart strings. 

Jeff Dowler, CRS - We could all use some unforgettable stories. The Blue Angels is exactly what our country needs now!  Something about nurses and doctors that amazes me, despite the hard parts, is their ability to be amazed by the miracle of life despite adversities. 

Debra Leisek - Looking back now, I closed one door of High School education and opened up the door to the real world during the Vietnam era. That's when true education began to unfold. You can learn a lot about reading, writing, and arithmetic, but moral choices and ethics ring louder than school bells. Fast forward to today's current affairs, I'm understanding more now than ever before. For example, moral ideas are an essential component of a society's identity and existence. Having courage, confidence, and the capacity to make the right choice without fear or intimidation is very American. Propaganda, jumping on the wrong bandwagons, paying attention to rumors, lies and deceptions, that's just not what soldiers died for. Morally it is right to have your dignity and respect. 

Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 - Thank you. As far as 'everyone should be a veteran,' I can only speak from personal experience and that is it was a humbling experience. An awakening. Things I struggled with are: give a soldier a gun, train a soldier to fly a helicopter, expect a soldier to go to war - but don't give them a job when they return was the biggest mistake our country made. Thankfully, from what I see, things have changed but we still have a long ways to go. 

Regarding heroes, I believe there are many silent heroes among us every day. Now that our world has been infected with this deadly virus, will common courtesy, respect, and courage prevail? Let's hope that profound changes that needed to be made, will be made, especially for seniors and people who need to work because without adequate necessities or income, how can basic needs be met?

Scott Godzyk - Thank you, very much. Dramatic changes are in order for our silent heroes who keep us alive and work tiredlessly in our hours of need. The Blue Angels was a great way to honor all. 

Anne Corbin - That must have been an exciting and curious day for you and your husband. Whatever was happening, I hope it was for the greater good. Be safe.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - My first feature in "YouTube Thursdays." How exciting!!! Thank you!

I hope the flyover Peace Health in Vancouver did occur this morning and that there will be more sightings all over the United States. For me, it's an honor to know they can do this and ordinary people can feel something good inside without having to pay for an event or attended crowded place. We are all overdue for nice surprises, especially our doctors, nurses, and First Responders. Cheers and peace for our wonderful Blue Angels!!!

Kathleen Daniels - I could feel your positive energy by reading your wonderful comment. Thank you, so much. You are such a gracious lady with a compassionate heart and positive attitude. 

Your last paragraph really touched my soul. I appreciate that you wrote those golden words. 

Roy Kelley - Thank you for  your good wishes. There has been a lot of reflection going on in my world and in my mind. I hope you and Dolores are providing each other with quality time in the most loving and intellectual way. 

Anthony Kirlew - As a former member of "the (BERT) Bicycle Emergency Response Team of Andrews Air Force Base in MD," I salute you and all the men who have served to protect and assist the Blue Angels. What an honor it is to know you and to see you in this photograph! Thank you, for sharing and for your services. That plane is absolutely beautiful!!!
