Chad and I competed in many ways in our early Corps days. Always willing to help and had the best attitude. Undoubtedly he was certainly the better man.
I carry a reminder with me everyday to keep pushing and improving - as he certainly wouldn't be doing any less today.

As America celebrates Juneteenth today it is an opportunity to reflect and plan on the ongoing work that needs to be done to eradicate poverty which by the way affects more whites than Blacks in America, reparations, and George Floyd Police reform.
As AI and technology continue to strip away the workforce, income supplements for the poor will be needed to help people transition to a better space and grow the economy.
This is a better investment than the billions of dollars into the military industrial complex creating havoc around the world.
This is also an opportunity to remember and fight for the victims of oppression to make our society a better place.
Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?
A white man opened fire in a historic black church, in Charleston, South Carolina the night of June 17, 2015, killing nine people, during a prayer meeting.
The living embodiment of white supremacy walked into a black church
Nine years ago today black people welcomed him into their sanctuary. They prayed with him and over him. I am gonna spend today praying for their lives and praying for their families.
Love and terror all in the same space
Though Juneteenth celebrates Black liberation in America, whatever freedoms we enjoy are never absolute and can cherry picked to be almost arbitrary. Remember the names of White violence that never cease to target Black folk in America.
A SIDE NOTE:
When I just typed/Swyped the word, "JUNETEENTH," on my phone, my Samsung/Android phone did not see it as a valid word.
After nearly 200 years of Juneteenth being celebrated by Black folk, my Samsung Galaxy 22 phone -- a phone made by a South Korean company in a land of predominantly non-Black people of color and a phone bpowered by a U.S. based operating system created by Google, a White dominated corporation -- did not think to include the word "Juneteenth" (now a major federal holiday in its phone.
That kind of disappearance from history is why Black folk created touchstones like Black History Month and holidays long ignored by whites like Juneteenth.
Our freedoms are relative to ones White Christians enjoy in America that we don't.
Like the expectation one might hold to not be slaughtered in a Black Church in a nation whose Supreme Court just gave the right to all people -- but mostly Whites in practical terms -- to by a bump stock that can turn their single trigger rifles into a massacre machine and efficiently murder Church going Black folk with cruel, inhumane, race-based hatred.
Welcome to the reality that is White vs. Black America.
Rest in peace to these seven souls. Know their names. Never disappear them from history.

Part 4 - What’s the difference between a payment and an honorarium?
The biggest difference between the two is that the amount of an honorarium is up to you. With payments, the pricing is set by an outside entity, such as the musician or the florist. But with an honorarium, you determine what you are able and/or willing to offer as a token of your appreciation.
