Does PERSEVERANCE matter?

We have reached the one year anniversary of COVID-19 in our country.

In thinking on this, we have 3 requests:

1) Remember all who have passed away due to COVID-19 related deaths (did you know that we have had more people die in the country over this last year, then all of the military deaths since 1941 (this would include all WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf 1 and Gulf 2 Wars, Afghanistan, and all the smaller war actions in between all of those - aka over 535,000 deaths).

2) Although vaccination shots are rolling out, will still have 200 million to go. Please, want the shot & get the shot.

3) Until we get a majority of Americans vaccinated, please keep wearing a mask, keep distance between you & others, and hold off yet on the large gatherings.

We are almost through this. Thank you for doing your part and thank you again to all the medical teams, the researchers, the front line essential workers - all who had to keep working through these challenging times. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
