COR, NOR, 6 was Goose. The COT lasted about 10 mins longer today as the PAX bravely spoke out about personal experiences with mental health issues. Their were some tears, personal stories about self, stories about family, stories about our veterans, and emotions were high. Strength comes in many forms, least of which can be physical. Today the emotional strength of several of our PAX displayed what a real HIM is about.
Always an Honor, Always My Pleasure
