Every June presents us with the opportunity to grow as individuals, practitioners, professionals, and allies. Pride month helps us focus on learning more about ourselves, our families, and our community at large.

This month we celebrate Military Appreciation Month. It is an opportunity to acknowledge and honor the veterans, active-duty service members, reservists, guardsmen and women, and military spouses who serve our country with such courage and strength. To the men and women who sacrifice their time, energy, and lives to protect all of us and our freedom: a thank you does not seem sufficient enough.
