Some things are worth pausing for. This is one of them!

The Wall That Heals, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is coming to our backyard this Memorial Day weekend, and I'm asking you to take the time to go. Not scroll past it. Not say "I'll catch the next one." Actually go.

More than 58,000 names are on that wall. Each one is a son, a daughter, a father, a friend someone who gave everything. The least we can do is show up, stand in front of it, and remember.

📍 Lewis Central High School
3504 Harry Langdon Blvd | Council Bluffs, IA
🗓️ May 22–25, 2026

Here's what's happening all weekend:
Fri, May 22 — Welcome Home Ceremony
Sat, May 23 — Quilts of Valor Ceremony
Sun, May 24 — Light the Night for PTSD
Mon, May 25 — Memorial Day / Closing Ceremony
(ASL interpreters will be available at all ceremonies.)

Whether you lost someone, served alongside someone, or simply want to honor those who sacrificed this weekend is for you. Block off the time. Bring your family. Let it mean something.

🔑 Business Tip Tuesday: Before you spend a dollar on marketing, make sure you can answer these 3 questions:

1. Who is your ideal customer?
2. What problem do you solve for them?
3. Why should they choose YOU over the competition?

Nail these and your marketing practically writes itself. Which one do you struggle with most?
