National Health Awareness: Public Health April 2025
The month of April brings awareness to many specific conditions (the full list is at the end).

Murder is Wrong
The murder of United Healthcare’s CEO has led to a national response: a catharsis mixed of celebration and condemnation. Murder is wrong.

My Dumb Friends
We talk often on experts, serious happenings, leadership questions and philosophy… but not often about life. I have several folks I keep in little circle I call Dumb Friends.

Trust and Inspire
A military Captain barks orders to their squad, “cover the flank!,” “Cover fire!,” “Go, Go, Go!,” and his squad members think, “I can’t wait to get out of the military.” Meanwhile, a special forces Commander sends their team on their mission.
