If you have ever had the pleasure to talk to those who have served our country in the military and who have seen combat, they will tell you that when you are in the foxhole and bullets are flying, you quickly learn who you can count on. Who will have your back and do whatever it takes to succeed, and who is all about themselves.
Today, some will say that we are in a battle. A battle for lives, our businesses and our future. We all have been going a thousand miles an hour trying to get ahead of this crisis, trying to protect our businesses, our employees and our families. And what has really buoyed me in all of this are the people who, while they are in the same crisis we are in, are ready to help others — giving back to make the industry and our association a little stronger.
