AS WE CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY . . .

As we celebrate International Men's Day, let's take a moment to think about how the selfless contributions and sacrifices that Men we know . . . and Men whom we do not and will not have the honor of knowing for a variety of reasons . . . have positively impacted our personal lives, our communities, and our global village. At great risk, Men in our midst have worked and continue to work quietly and unceremoniously to create a world that gives all of us the freedom to dream dreams and to pursue them.  Men are co-architects of our bridge to the future and the glue that holds our families, our communities, and our global village together.  Let's utilize this day -- International Men's Day -- and every day going forward as a platform to express -- in words and in deeds -- to the 3.6 million souls who are males that we see them, that we love them, and that they matter very much to us.
