As the weather becomes “frightful” during winter months, construction workers who must brave the outdoor conditions face the occupational hazard of exposure to the cold. You need to be especially mindful of the weather, its effects on the body, and proper prevention techniques.

What do we say to those men and women who fought for our freedom?

Words cannot describe the tears that are shed as we watch those we love go off to defend our country.

Words cannot describe the worry etched on a parent’s face, the dried tears on a spouse's pillow, the longing look at kids who have both parents safely at home.

There are two words that we can and should say to our Veterans: THANK YOU.

Thank you for stepping forward, when others stepped back.

Thank you for placing yourself in danger, so I may go about my normal day.
