Chairman’s Message
2020 has been a trying and traumatic year. We have felt loneliness this year. We have felt grief. We have felt anger. We have felt fear.
When the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic, it was still impossible to imagine all it would take from us. Now I extend my most heartfelt condolences and prayers to all our customers and members of our Falcon Family who have lost grandparents, parents, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, or children to COVID-19, as well as other illnesses or chance.
Our thanks and blessings go out to those who keep our country running—our warriors!—those working in healthcare, transportation, the food industry, the financial industry, law enforcement, teaching, gas stations, grocery stores, municipalities, and so many more. We thank those who are working from home while balancing the impossible simultaneous responsibilities of parenthood and education. We would be nowhere without those people or industries fighting for the rest of us.
As we look toward 2021, with our country’s leadership possibly on the brink of change, I hope we can remember the hard-won lessons of this year—mostly this: we are all connected. Our actions extend ripples that touch people we may never meet. We’ve seen that with the pandemic. As we move forward into a new chapter, I hope we can use that connection for good.
God bless you and your families.
Adolfo E. Gutierrez
