This week in 1975, the movie Jaws premiered. Spielberg’s thriller about a rogue great white shark terrorizing a summer resort town is often regarded as one of the greatest films of all time.

Fear is a very real and sometimes crippling emotion that typically evokes one of three responses: fight, flight, or freeze. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to…

This week we are celebrating Father’s Day! The only day when Dad jokes are acceptable and extra punny! We here at Integrity salute all the daring and delightful dads as we celebrate Father’s Day. TRANSCRIPT: This coming Sunday is when we celebrate Father’s Day. Last month, we had a little fun with mothers and word play, so let’s kick off Dad’s Day with the same frivolity!

May transitions to June. Spring transitions to Summer. Pleasant, cool mornings transition to a 7AM blast furnace…. well, at least it does where I live. Before the celebrations begin, though, let’s take a deeper dive into the meaning of a graduate. Let’s start with the word itself. “Graduate” comes from a 15th century…

This week, we join Gene as he gives us a brief summary of the history and meaning of Memorial Day Weekend. We here at Integrity Adjusters would like to thank our Veterans for their service and sacrifices. We also wish you all, a Happy Memorial Day! TRANSCRIPT: This coming weekend is the Memorial Day Holiday. While for many, this weekend signals the beginning of the Summer Season, its meaning is much more significant, which is what brings me to the Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery located in Spanish Fort, AL. What once was known as Decoration Day began three years…
