Letter to Editor:
Growing up in El Reno, I’ve seen the quiet strength our men carry, but I’ve also seen how often that silence becomes a burden.
June is Men’s Health Month, and I believe it’s time we talk about the hard stuff - our health, our struggles, and the pressure to stay silent. I’ve faced my own battles, and I’m still learning that taking care of myself is not weakness, it’s survival.
