COVID-19: Working Together, We Will Defeat the Enemy
with Gordon Graham
Remarkable things happen when Americans come together.
Eighty years ago, we were a nation at war, marshalling our resources, our imaginations and our courage to fight the Nazis.
In this inspirational message, Lexipol co-founder Gordon Graham says it’s time for war once again–this time against a disease we do not yet fully understand. Working together, he says, we can defeat this enemy just like we did 80 years ago.
