In March 2007, President George W. Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal, America’s highest civilian award, to the elite Tuskegee Airmen group for their valor, exceptional skill, and patriotism as U.S. Air Force fighter pilots during World War II. Retired Air Force Major Joseph Gomer was among the Airmen present at the ceremony. For the Airmen, the Congressional honor came more than 60 years after the height of their military service to our country, during which they endured prejudice and segregation even as they and all African-Americans fought for their civil rights at home. After his military service, Joe Gomer continued his distinguished and passionate service to America as a Federal employee working for civil rights. Now in retirement – with wit, purpose, and enlightening historical recall – Joe Gomer educates and mentors America’s youth about the role of the Tuskegee Airmen, their contribution to American freedoms, and his inspirational message of the human spirit.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
