Salute to Operation First Response

Well, I know I am supposed to really be the Small Biz Wiz and blog about some of the finances issues Small Businesses deal with. Well, I spent all night watching TV about the looming crisis with North Korea (I have a grad(ual) degree in Asian studies, so this stuff really interests me) and while I was watching I could not help but think about Iraq (OK -- here we go, I am supposed to keep politics out of my blogs postings, but I can't). The war is not nearly as close to home for me as it for some of the people I work with. Some of them served in the military and one person has a son who just returned from Iraq after getting wounded. Needless to say, this is impacted some members of our Community team (Not all because we have not told everyone about it. After all I need to respect this person privacy). Anyway, the good news is that this person's son survived and and has gotten out of the hospital and is now an outpatient. While listening to this soldier's story, his dad asked me to pass around the name of Operation First Response, which supports wounded heroes and their families. I am told that Peggy was nothing short of a superhero in helping out. It is always amazing to me to hear about how much some people are willing to give to help another person out. Peggy and team, thank you for taking care of our soldiers and their families
