4 Driving Habits We All Need to Stop
Distracted Driving
take caution. It’s not worth arriving a few minutes early when there is a slight chance of not arriving at all.
We have all been stuck behind the person in front of us who continuously flashes their brake lights, overcorrects their steering, or takes forever to go when the light turns green. You pass them up only to find that they are on their cellphone, putting on makeup, or chowing down. Don’t be “that person”; save the texting, eating, or whatever else for later. It can always wait.

We, too, are happy to do whatever we can to bring attention to those affected by the burn pits and hopefully get them the help and compensation they need to move on with their lives.
