During this holiday season of bbq’s, family and fun, we just wanted to take a minute to remember our friends and former colleagues, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who are being held prisoners in North Korea. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families during this difficult time.
Wishing everyone a Happy and safe, 4th Of July!
