Operation Homefront Honors Veterans Day with 11 Days of Impact Campaign

Leave a comment


Operation Homefront will also share impactful stories about how their programs and partners are making a difference in the lives of the military families they serve. Watch for more from the corporate and foundational partners joining in this initiative including The Home Depot Foundation, Kohl’s, Impossible Foods, Love’s Travel Stops, Walmart, CSX, P&G, and Meritage Homes, as they show their support in a variety of ways.

Walmart, for example, is offering its customers the opportunity to donate at checkout and round up their online and in-app purchases to the nearest dollar in order to make a contribution to support Operation Homefront through Spark Good Round Up. From October 23 through November 30, Walmart will match these contributions to Operation Homefront 2:1, up to $2M.

“Our 11 Days of Impact campaign is a clear call to action that underscores the real difference we can make when a like-minded donor community works in unison to help our military families in their time of need for all they have done for all of us in our nation’s time of need,” said retired Brig. Gen. John I. Pray, Jr., President and CEO of Operation Homefront. “Our goal during this period is to generate the resources that will help us help this very special and deserving group of our fellow citizens have the opportunity to thrive, not simply struggle to get by as we believe strong military families make their communities stronger, and these strong communities, in turn, make America stronger.”

Operation Homefront invites all supporters of the military and veteran communities to participate in 11 Days of Impact by donating to Operation Homefront or sending a message of thanks to a military or veteran family.

Protect Environmental and the American Lung Association Partner to Provide Professional No-Cost Radon Testing for Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Leave a comment


Protect Environmental is providing no-cost access to professional radon testing in select communities through its national partnership with the American Lung Association. Through this initiative, a qualified professional will conduct a radon test using a certified radon measurement device, providing a detailed report to the homeowner upon completion of the test. If elevated levels are identified, the problem can be fixed through the installation of a mitigation system.

No-cost professional radon testing is currently available in seven (7) markets: (1) Columbus, OH; (2) Denver, CO; (3) Detroit, MI; (4) Lexington, KY; (5) Louisville, KY; (6) New Jersey, and New York City (7) Salt Lake City, UT. Homeowners can request no-cost professional radon testing here.

“We discovered that my childhood home had high levels of radon when my father was diagnosed with lung cancer, even though he was a non-smoker,” said Kyle Hoylman, CEO of Protect Environmental. “Our team is doing its part to reduce exposure to radioactive, cancer-causing radon gas in the communities we serve, but more awareness and action is needed to prevent this deadly disease. That’s why we partnered with the American Lung Association to break down barriers and empower individuals to reduce their risk of radon exposure through no-cost professional radon testing.”

“Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in America. As we have made tremendous strides in raising awareness about the dangers of tobacco use, there is more work to do to increase awareness about radon and how to prevent radon-induced lung cancer. Since reducing the risk of radon-induced lung cancer starts with a test, we encourage everyone, regardless of where you live, to test the spaces where you live, work, and learn,” said Deb Brown, chief mission officer for the American Lung Association. “It will take all of us working together to end lung cancer stigma and raise awareness that anyone can get lung cancer. Test for radon – it could save your life.”

About Protect Environmental
Protect Environmental is a national leader in the environmental consulting and construction industry, focusing on radon and chemical vapor intrusion management. With a proven track record spanning 18 years and more than 200,000 completed projects in all 50 U.S. states and 2 U.S. territories, the company provides expert service from its trusted professionals to provide peace of mind protection to property owners seeking to build and maintain healthy, safe, and sustainable indoor environments.

Steven M. Stroum, Small Business Advocate and author of “Success and Self-Discovery,” his Business Memoir, Celebrates National Entrepreneurship Month this November

Leave a comment


Our small business leaders are the fabric of our society. They are the unsung heroes who take risks daily and create better lives for their employees, customers, and neighbors. They are innovators and competitors who own barber shops, beauty salons, restaurants, automobile repair shops, boutiques, and the like. They work long hours and sponsor charity events and usually play a very positive role in their communities. Entrepreneurs stand for personal responsibility and represent the relationship between personal freedom and free enterprise as well as the American Dream for independence.

Naturally, when we think of entrepreneurs the outliers such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos come to mind. The founders of Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, respectively, literally transformed the way the world communicates, plays, and purchases goods and services. One thing is crystal clear, the 1980s gave birth to many great companies. Not just Apple and Microsoft, but Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and many more computer hardware, software, and technical companies.

Entrepreneurs are accountable for their own actions and their success depends upon it. Traditionally this has been the American Way, the American Spirit, and the manifestation of the American Dream. This attitude was predominant in the 1980s when the Reagan era policies that called for widespread tax cuts and the deregulation of domestic markets created a positive economic environment for innovation and entrepreneurship.

Today, however, Biden’s economic policies are threatening small business by making it more difficult for smalls to conduct business. Interest rates are higher than they’ve been in many years and regional banks who serve small businesses are under tremendous pressure. Add to that the cost of regulations promulgated by his administration, lowered thresholds for IRS audits, related legal and administrative costs, inflation, and rising costs of products and employment and you can clearly see the problems facing entrepreneurship. America needs the entrepreneurial ecosystem we had in the 1980s. Without relief for small businesses, the American dream could end up becoming a nightmare. Let’s celebrate entrepreneurship!
