On the is episode of Survive and Thrive 8791, I share my work journey to Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. The National Prevention Network Conference I attended gave me some really good ideas for my day job.
The sights, sounds, and scenery were amazing and I would recommend both places to travel to. The White House, monuments, and other places of DC were very cool to see.
In Pennsylvania, I went to the Little League World Series, paid my respects to Jim Thorpe, the greatest athlete of all-time in the community of Jim Thorpe, PA. I then traveled the backroads of the Pocono Mountains to Carlisle, PA. Carlisle was home to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. This was a school where Native American children were taken to after being forcibly removed from their homes and native lands. The US government wanted to assimilate the Indian to the white world.
Carlisle now is a United States Military Facility. The only remnants of the school is the cemetery where 200 Native American students were buried. The died from disease, malnutrition, or homesickness.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
