Happy Birthday, Dan. Please, I was honored to learn your patriotic story and share it with others to be inspired. Unfortunately, we had another mass shooting, actually two of them, this past weekend. So, if you have any insights on how to stop these senseless acts of violence, please send along your intercessions via God. Keep cheering for your beloved Dodgers - as they are having another great season.
