It was a tremendous honor to deliver the closing prayer at the Faith Wins gathering, which brought together pastors, faith leaders, and public officials for a meaningful discussion about faith, America`s founding principles, and the vital role of the church in our communities and nation.
It was especially meaningful to share this wonderful occasion with my beautiful wife, Rebbie, alongside our dear friend Pastor Stephen Coleman and State Representative Stephanie Borowicz. What a blessing to fellowship with fellow believers who share a commitment to faith, family, and service to others!
We were grateful for the opportunity to join so many dedicated faith leaders who are making a positive difference in their churches and communities.
May we never forget the importance of faith, prayer, and the enduring principles upon which our great nation was founded.
October 30th - John Adams Birthday
John Adams (1735-1826) the 2nd U.S. President was born in Braintree, Massachusetts. He served from March 4, 1797 to March 3, 1801. He had been George Washington`s vice president, and was the father of John Quincy Adams, the 6th President. He died on July 4, 1826, the same day as Thomas Jefferson, on the 50th anniversary of adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
What an incredible honor it was to deliver the invocation prayer during the dedication ceremony of the National Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Having served in Desert Storm with the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment during the liberation of Kuwait, this was a deeply personal and emotional moment for me. To stand on the National Mall 35 years later - remembering those who served, those who sacrificed, and especially the 383 who never came home, was truly humbling.
Making the occasion even more meaningful was sharing it with my beautiful wife, Rebbie. She stood by my side during those uncertain days of war and has been my rock throughout the many years since.
From the battlefields of 1991 to the National Mall today, what a journey. God bless our Veterans, their families, and the United States of America!
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Honoring a Fallen Soldier of World War I
I had the incredible opportunity to lead a NATO delegation in returning the personal effects of a German soldier from the Black Forest region of Germany who had been missing in action since 1918.
The artifacts were discovered near the historic Sergeant Alvin York Trail in Châtel-Chéhéry, France, in the Argonne Forest. #ThrowbackThursday

Today we mark Ohi Day (Oxi Day), honoring the incredible bravery and resilience of the Greek people.
On October 28, 1940, when Mussolini delivered an ultimatum demanding the occupation of strategic Greek sites, Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas gave a definitive, single-word response: "Όχι" (No).
That defiant "No" officially entered Greece into World War II, where Greek forces united to push back the initial Axis advance, securing one of the first major victories for the Allies and inspiring the world. Today, we celebrate the enduring spirit of freedom, democracy, and courage.
