Hey everyone, I want to say that I am humbled and proud of everyone who has risen to help others during this pandemic. The humanity you have shown and continue to show reaffirms my own and gives me hope of a united future for our people. Together through this pandemic we have shown the best parts of our people as we have helped, healed and hoped. Through it all we have come together beyond borders or budgets and helped our fellow person to their feet. All over the world new ventures, initiatives and fundraising has occurred in an effort to help our people weather this crisis. Today there is more collaboration, cooperation and communication between world leaders then ever before in our recorded history. In a years time we have no only reviewed our systems but improved on them when needed. We have worked collectively to share data, information and supplies and this collaboration has led us to a vaccine. The results of cooperation and collaboration are evident. As we enter this final leg of the Pandemic I ask that we continue to communicate, collaborate and cooperate. Together we have shown each other the value within each of us and this has helped to evolve what it means to be human. Together we have worked wonders as nation and national stood as one with the world. It is these connections, one person to another that will see us to that beautiful future we all deserve. Through the darkness of the unknown we triumphed together. Our humanity shining like beacons as we joined together in common cause. I ask that we remember this in the days, weeks and years to come. I ask that we keep standing together and shining in our collective humanity to ensure our future is bright. I love you all, keep being legendary. Keep loving, keep dreaming, keep going. Stay safe, stay sanitized and stay supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
