I always think of those who have lost children, spouses, and parents on Memorial Day. My father, grandfather, and uncle all served. I am blessed they returned home. I encourage all to take a moment today to silently reflect in gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and to acknowledge that they are not forgotten and missed by family & friends. America does not leave people behind or forget them as a nation.

It has been long overdue for the Small Business Administration to raise the SBA guaranteed lending ceiling above $5 million. In case you missed it (LOL), inflation has been present in our economy for an extended period of time. The price paid for all things from restaurant bills to businesses has organically increased in this extended inflationary economic environment. Great news out of the Small Business Administration. THANK YOU (https://www.sba.gov/article/2026/05/18/sba-doubles-cumulative-7a-504-loan-limit-10-million). As of July 4, a buyer can now obtain SBA guarantees on $5 million of business and $5 million of real estate loans for a total of $10,000,000 of government backed loans mitigating risk for banks and increasing loan approval opportunities for entrepreneurs. This positive action by the federal government should be applauded. Job well done.
