Happy Nurses Day [VIDEO]
Today, May 6th, is National Nurse's Day. There's no question nurses are unsung heroes.
Perhaps one of the "good" things that have come from the pandemic, is the realization of who the actual, day-to-day heroes are. Really, it's not athletes, who are placed on pedestals because of their ability to hit a ball,make a basket or throw a touchdown. It is professions like nurses, who are in the trenches, taking care of the sick and ill, and have performed yeoman's work, all while putting their own lives at risk.
