Celebrating Deon’s Commitment to Country A New Hero’s Path In his recent article for National Heroes’ Day, Kevin reflected on Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz’s quiet strength. He led with humility, steadiness, and a deep commitment to those he served alongside. Today, we want to recognize a young man from our community who is stepping onto a path guided by those very same values: Deon . Several years ago, Deon and his mother came to our firm during a challenging chapter in their lives. Even then, he carried himself with a calm determination and a sense of responsibility beyond his years. Recently, his mother shared the exciting news that Deon is enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Serving in the military is more than a career choice; it is a commitment to protect, serve, and put the needs of others above your own. It means stepping into a world of discipline, sacrifice, and camaraderie, knowing the road ahead will demand your best every single day. Deon’s decision reflects bravery and selflessness that deserve to be celebrated. We are inspired by the courage it takes to answer this call. In a time when so much attention is focused on personal gain, Deon’s path reminds us that true heroism often begins with a quiet decision to give back. He may not be chasing accolades, but in choosing to serve, he joins the ranks of those whose actions will have a lasting impact. On behalf of the entire firm, we congratulate Deon on this incredible new chapter. We wish him strength during his training, safety in his service, and fulfillment in the mission he has chosen. Most of all, we thank him for his commitment, example, and reminder that heroes are not just a part of the past. They are here, right now, shaping the world in ways big and small.
Kid-Approved Halloween Movies for Cozy Nights Fright Lite It’s that boo-tiful time of year when jack-o’-lanterns line every porch, costumes come out of hiding, and the witching hour is for scary movie nights! Whether you’re in the mood to giggle over ghouls or spot some not-so-spooky specters, your Halloween film fests don’t have to scare your little ones to deliver family- friendly chills this season. We’ve conjured up the best kid-approved holiday horror movies that are more treat than trick — perfect for popcorn, blankets, and fun-filled evenings with your little monsters! ‘HOCUS POCUS’ If you like your witchy watches to be the perfect potion of comedy and nostalgia, 1993’s “Hocus Pocus” will leave your kids spellbound. This Halloween classic follows a group of local kids who accidentally awaken the Sanderson Sisters, a trio of witches out to steal children’s souls so they can stay beautiful forever. Filled with fun characters, a spooky atmosphere that’s more silly than scary, and even a catchy musical number, this movie remains a favorite for goblins of all ages. ‘IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN’ For generations, families have watched alongside the Peanuts gang as they carefully waited for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. The Charlie Brown Halloween special is a cute, scare-free option that’s sweet and full of heart. Appropriate for even the youngest ghouls, this short movie captures the festive spirit of fall without giving anyone nightmares (unless you have bad dreams about Lucy pulling the football away just as Charlie Brown is about to kick it). This is the perfect option for little ones who might not be ready for scary stuff. ‘THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS’ “Nightmare Before Christmas” combines creepy charm with the warmth of Christmas as two very different worlds collide. Using impressive stop motion, the story follows Jack Skellington of Halloween Town as he tries to bring Santa and Christmas traditions to his community. Though it has plenty of spookiness, it has enough humor and whimsy to keep it lighthearted. The character design, infectious songs, and overall theme of staying true to yourself make this an excellent watch for either holiday.
So, grab your candy corn, dim the lights, and let these not-too-scary classics bring frightful fun to your family!
