Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody were members of a group
There was an important job to do and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody would have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody would do it, but Nobody realized that Anybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody, blamed Somebody, when Nobody did, what Anybody could have done.
(abridged version of a poem by Charles Osgood)

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility, it’s easy to say “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problems”.
Then there are those who see the need and respond, I consider those people my heroes.”

You may have heard about the Patriot Project.
The Patriot Project is a grass roots movement to provide chiropractic care to all active military, their families, wounded warriors & all gold star dependents.
Chiropractic care is included in veteran’s health benefits but has not been made readily available for all wounded warriors. Many of the ailments are currently being treated largely with pain medication and psychotropic drugs but can be relieved more conservatively with chiropractic care.
It is important to offer our active duty non-drug, non-surgical options for their painful conditions and Doctors of Chiropractic offer such care with attention to the optimum function and health of the whole person.
The Patriot Project aims to make chiropractic care readily available for ALL active duty personnel, military veterans & their families including all gold star dependents.
Thursday November 20th Ms. Phyllis Frase will be interviewing Dr. Carol Ann Malizia, D.C., who is on the Board of Directors of the Patriot Project. She recently heard Dr. Malizia speak at Parker Seminar in Texas and was very moved by her compassion for our veterans and what she has done to help them.
On our webinar you will learn how the Patriot Project can help you grow your practice, and in return, how you can help our veterans.
