Today, WE are all FRENCH

As Americans, we owe France as much for our Independence as we owe the soldiers and militia who fought in the Revolutionary War. It is not by accident that the Islamists hate her as much as they hate us. I support France in my prayers today as they deal with the aftermath of what happened at the hands of terrorists yesterday.

When 9/11 happened, I remember the news-casters taking comments about it from all over the world. I remember one French woman who said, "Today, we are ALL Americans."

Well, today, WE are all FRENCH.

October is American Cheese Month!

Don't know about you, but cheese is next to chocolate in my book of favorite foods.

Did you know that America is the world’s cheese superpower, producing 26 percent of the world’s supply? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a full third of this figure is accounted for by mozzarella, likely attributable to our appetite for pizza. Big Cheese is formed in America by 561 production establishments. Employing over 43,000 workers, cheese captures a $43 billion a year slice of the economy.

Happy American Cheese Month!

October is Adopt a Dog Month

Each year, 3-4 million animals waiting in shelters for someone to give them a safe, loving home never find a hero to adopt them and, tragically, are euthanized.

If you’re thinking about getting a dog, be a hero and consider adopting a rescue animal or a dog from your local shelter. You’ll be saving a life and greatly improving yours. Dogs are amazing, supportive, and heroic companions who can make a huge difference in your world as a best friend, an exercise buddy, someone who can be trained to provide animal-assisted therapy and help you with challenges you may face, or simply be a fuzzy face to greet you after a hard day at work.

Sunday, September 27, 2015, Is Gold Star Mother's Day

This Sunday, September 27, 2015 is Gold Star Mothers Day. So, just what is a Gold Star Mother and why should you take a moment to honor Gold Star Mothers this Sunday even if you have never met one.

When one has a child enter into military service in the United States Armed Forces, one becomes a Blue Star Mother. Each individual mother may decide to join the Blue Star Mothers of America or not, but each mother is a Blue Star Mother. The Blue Star Flag custom began in 1917, during World War I. The Blue Star Flag was hung in the window of each home to show that a family member was serving in the military.

Upon the death of her child on the battlefield, a mother becomes a Gold Star Mother. She is presented with a Gold Star pin. You can identify the Gold Star Mothers at churches or memorial services by the all white outfit and white vest they wear.
