Okay, let me tell you this now like a big sister would, because nobody really explains this part of Guard life beforehand. Wearing the uniform on the Fourth of July feels a little emotional in the weirdest way. Not dramatic. Not movie-scene emotional. Just this quiet moment where you look around and realize, “Oh. This is actually part of me now.” While everybody else is posting fireworks pictures,...

There’s a shift that happens when you put on the uniform. Memorial Day stops being just a long weekend. It stops being about sales, lake plans, or the unofficial start of summer. It becomes quieter. Heavier. More intentional. When you wear the uniform, you don’t just know what the day means...you feel it. You’ve stood in formation during ceremonies where the air felt still in a way you can’t expla...

At twenty-five years, Patriot Day is still our newest day of remembrance. Most of the population who experienced it, or learned about it through the media, are still around today. It is as much on the minds of many Americans today as was Pearl Harbor or the Challenger Disaster for those generations.

Back-to-school season means new backpacks, packed schedules, homework battles, and kids walking through the front door acting like they haven’t eaten in three days....you know the look. They drop their backpack in the middle of the hallway, kick off one shoe in the kitchen and somehow leave the other one by the couch, then immediately announce:“Dad, I’m starving.” As a dad, this is where you have ...

If you're like me, it’s the beginning of summer, and you are already drowning. Still getting into the groove of a new job, kids just getting out of school, summer camps starting, and all the activities are coming at you full speed.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays, the colors, the weather, being with family, and enjoying a delicious Easter Sunday meal! Let’s be honest though, a lot of time spent in the kitchen prepping for dinner. Between glazing the ham and hiding the eggs, the “to-do” list can get pretty long. If you’re looking for a way to serve up a delicious holiday spread without the stress, Stouffer’s® Sides are ...
