When opportunity opens, stick your foot in the door. We can each have a role in impacting culture, or we can sit by and let it impact us. Earlier last month, I received a special invitation to a White House briefing that addressed a number of issues regarding mental health, drug use, and issues facing our nation.

Indian head pennies and Victory Gardens were still in circulation when I was born, less than five years after General Eisenhower sent an army across the English Channel. By 1955, I was six and starting to recognize the more serious conversations of adults.

Those in combat don’t ask their fellow service members what their worldviews are while engaging in battle. They have a single focus: defeating the enemy. Rather than get caught up in outlying issues, the successful side is one that combines the strengths of many to fight together and accomplish the goal.
