With the holiday season in high-gear, it is easy to get caught up decorating our homes, attending parties and programs, and finding the perfect gifts for our friends and family. 

It’s that time of year again, when we gather with family and friends and usher in the start of the Holiday Season by filling ourselves on good food and enjoying good company. Thanksgiving is a time to take pause and give thanks for the people in our lives who make a difference – and, of course, watch a lot of football.

This Veteran’s Day we honor and remember the more than 48 million Americans who have served the United States of America and have protected our freedoms since 1776. Throughout the course of American history, courageous men and women have taken up arms to secure, defend, and maintain the core principles upon which our Nation’s freedoms depend.

Few would argue that this has been one of the most divisive election years in recent memory. Many of us are simply tired. We want it all to stop. Campaign fatigue aside, today is the most important day in any election cycle. It is the day of reckoning and the day of responsibility. It is time to vote.

As we head into the holiday weekend, Parallon Workforce Solutions would like to wish you all the best for a great holiday and a Happy Independence Day!

In 1991, Congress declared the first Tuesday in June to be National Health Care Recruiter Recognition Day- celebrated on Tuesday, June 7 this year.

This weekend marks a holiday that has been celebrated for nearly 150 years. With so much history behind it, it’s amazing that for some, it holds no more significance than a day off and great discounts. When Memorial Day was first celebrated, it was to commemorate the fallen from the Civil War. That number reached nearly half a million and represented 17% of those who served. Today, there are fewer men and women in uniform, both active and reserve. However, imagine living in a time where every family likely knew someone who either served, or worse, died in service to their country. That is the reason behind Memorial Day… to honor the patriots who gave their lives in the name of freedom. Whether we support a conflict raging today or in the history books, we should never forget those who have stood—and fallen—to protect our nation. 

On behalf of the entire Parallon Workforce Solutions team, we would like to send you our warmest wishes on Mother's Day!
