American Eagle Day
When we see an eagle in flight, we stop whatever we are doing and simply watch. Our most recognizable national symbol, eagles remain mesmerizing.

Stay Fit, Guys!
During National Men’s Health Week, take a little time to raise awareness and encourage men to seek help. Life gets crazy, and it’s easy to ignore little signs, but early detection and treatment are vital. We know! That saved Sir Ronald’s life 3½ years ago when he immediately addressed a sudden, but odd feeling when he tried to swallow.
Seeking regular medical advice is worthy along with regular check-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Certainly, this is good for all of us, but as we approach Father’s Day, let’s focus on the men and boys in our lives… both the ones we love and the ones who drive us crazy. (And yet, I repeat myself.) 
Focus on your health, gentlemen, and stick around to color our worlds for a long time yet to come.
