We live in extraordinary and surreal times. Our forebears faced centuries of occupation forces, war and famine, our battle is one waged against a potent and unseen enemy-an enemy with far-reaching effects comparable to war's aftermath.
Inherent in war is tragic loss, sacrifice and suffering. Ironically, war brings extraordinary things we witness along with the devastation: accounts of selfless courage and acts of heroism, duty, honor and infectious philotimo. War's aftermath creates hope, resolve, commitment, renewal, rebuilding and a fresh start.
We now are witnesses to an unprecedented level of global resolve and collaborative focus to find solutions. The interruption of normalcy as we knew it, blindsided us, all giving the world pause to reflect on the very sense of normalcy and routine we take for granted.
Today's celebrities and superstars are not on the silver screen or at the ball park, they are normalcy's very protagonists impacting our lives daily: the truck driver, gas station attendant, dock worker, farmer, plant worker, sanitation and utility worker, the cop and fireman, the soldier, and selfless physician, nurse and lab technician.
This hiatus presents an opportunity for NHS to present a series of exclusive presentations from our network on relevant themes and topics designed to inform, educate, guide & inspire our members and their guests.
