October is Deployment Month. Recognize and Remember that our Soldiers are not with us. 

Many are deployed overseas defending us and in harms way. Many are here in the U.S.A. defending are homeland.
 

Please help them and their families. You can get together and pack up boxes to ship to our soldiers & take to nearest base. You can give a wife a break by watching the children, run errands. Check to see if the children need anything.

Everything you are able to do makes a difference.

Congress declared, in 1894, Labor Day to be the first Monday in September. This Federal Holiday is to Honor all workers for their contributions to the well being of our Country.

I am asking that all Veterans and Civilians honor this day by greeting others with Respect and thoughtfulness for each and everyone’s contribution. Every time you see someone during the month of September greet them and wish them well.
Any contribution, great or small, is imperative to keeping our Nation thriving!

The concept of Americanism has been in use since the first European settlers moved to North America inspired by a vision of a “shining city upon a hill”  Americanism is an ideology, or a belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America, or respect for its flag, its traditions, its customs, its culture, its symbols, its institutions, or its form of government.

Americanism Promotes patriotism by celebrating patriotic holidays. Teaches respect and proper care for the US Flag. Brings attention to Prisoners of War and those Missing in action by hosting POW/MIA ceremonies to both educate the public and honor these special veterans.

There are many ways to show Americanism.

Get your community involved:

*If you see a flag that needs to be replaced, go to the business or the neighbors and replace the flag for them.

*Find businesses who regularly present the flag properly and give them a thank you and certificate.

*Go to your local funeral home with small flag pins and ask the funeral director if they can hand out small flag pins for all those veterans attending funerals.

*Celebrate your Patriotic holidays.

*There are many ways to show your Americanism.
