Let's Remember the Real Reason for Memorial Day This Year
May 29th
We at Hat Trick Associates would like to wish you a fun-filled, and safe, Memorial Day Weekend! And let’s all take a moment to reflect on the true reason for the holiday – the brave men and women who have given their lives in sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy here in America. In light of this, please allow me to share some information about a charitable group of which I’m a part, the Joshua Chamberlain Society, which strives to give back to the Heroes who have served in our military and sacrificed so much, and now need our help more than ever. Thank you, and look for us at our regular time on Monday ~
The Joshua Chamberlain Society - The mission of the Joshua Chamberlain Society is to identify and adopt wounded or fallen military service members who have made such an extraordinary sacrifice for our country. In the same fashion that our service members have sacrificed for their country forever, the Society is dedicated to making an on-going commitment to our Heroes for the remainder of their lives (or the lives of their families, for fallen Heroes). Meet our first Hero, Sgt. Joshua Eckhoff.

Youth of the Nation
Jan 25th
As a student of history (one of the few subjects I paid attention to during middle or high school), I have always been interested in studying the differences between different generations. I like to see how societal events like war, cultural influences or technologies influence whole groups of people. One of the most interesting groups to me is Generation Y, also called the Millennials.
There aren’t exact boundaries - for any generation - but Gen Y begins in the late 70s or early 80s, and extends out to approximately the year 2000.
What recently caught my attention was that many Millennials have stopped using words like “hello” and “goodbye” in their conversations. The reason is pretty straightforward, most of their conversations via social media, texting or chat services have no clear beginning or end, but are simply ongoing dialogues with other people.
Of course, older generations are using these same technologies, but they still tend to use these media for more traditional conversations.
I am trying to refrain from saying things like “back in my day”, maybe because this would mean admitting that I am finally getting old. However, you can’t help but notice the differences that adolescents today have from earlier generations. As More >
