Recently, I was flipping through a recent issue of Smithsonian Magazine, my favorite periodical, and about the only one I read from cover to cover each month.
The magazine combines literature, art, history, science, travel, nature and pop culture in side one issue. I read things I’d never run across anywhere else, and never does an issue disappoint.
Last Monday night, I attended the American Legion’s Ladies Night events here in Nashville.
I’ve attended this event for several years now so I’m pretty familiar with how it works and what goes on.
After dinner, I had my camera and pen and notebook ready to snap pictures of those recognized while at the same time taking notes.
I have written several columns on this page about people who have passed away and who were special to this community –– and very special to me personally.
Some of those people made huge differences in our lives by volunteering with local organizations or through leadership roles in our community. Some may have not done either, but instead made a personal impact in our lives.

In Spanish, it’s “orgullo.” In German, it’s “stolz.” In French, it’s “fierte.” The word pride, in any language, carries with it a feeling of self-respect and personal worth. It gives us a feeling of honor. It is the satisfaction we feel in our achievements. Pride enables us to see the full potential within ourselves and in others.
America, the greatest nation the world has ever known, is indeed a country which lays claim to many unique things in which its citizens should be proud. Our nation was founded by and established upon the wisdom of some very impressive men, such as: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and James Madison, just to name a few.
