HAPPY 4th of JULY!

Ladies, why do we quiver with delight when we see a man in uniform? Some of us actually become giddy as a school girl and start to blush! Why, because men in uniform are real men, our knights in shining armor. These men are real men and they deserve real women. Don’t you wonder if a course on “How to be a Gentleman” is taught at boot camp or military school? Soldiers are physically put together, they never fail to hold doors or look you in the eye. Of course there are some bad apples, but most of the time they are just plain....hunks! When you see a soldier in uniform, man or woman, young or old, thank them for the service. Forget the politics and battles, these are our Americans who fight to protect us. They deserve respect!
A Quote to Toast: “America's veterans
embody the ideals upon which America was founded more than 229 years ago.” ~Steve Buyer
How
frequently do we go about our daily lives listening to the latest news but give
little thought to the men and women offering themselves in the service of our
county? Not only should we remember our
soldiers and their unselfish sacrifices for our freedom, but we as civilians
need to show them respect. These men and
women are the true unsung heroes of our country.
·
When you meet a soldier in a public place, if
it is an appropriate time, make an effort to thank them for their service. Show courteous respect for their unselfish
and heroic acts.
·
Attending services in honor of our service men
and women is another way to show pride and appreciation. There are many ceremonies in honor of our
military on Armed Forces Day, Veteran’s Day and the Fourth of July. Take the opportunity to participate in these
parades, outdoor wreath presentations and speeches or military concerts.
·
Be an active and responsible American
citizen. Your right to vote is a serious
responsibility, do not take it lightly.
Our leaders directly affect our military personnel.
·
Know your history and teach it to your
children. We shouldn’t be ignorant to
major historical and currents events of our nation. Honor the men and women who have died for our
freedom by understanding what they fight for, starting with the founding of our
country to present day foreign affairs.
We can all contribute and honor our
soldiers in different ways. With the
current conflicts, we have many returning soldiers in need of jobs, housing,
relationship connections, schooling and treatments. Become involved by volunteering at a veteran
hospital, visit the ill soldiers, aid the staff or help in the healthcare area. Out of respect, we must go out of our way to
thank and support those who have put themselves in the line of fire to protect
our freedoms for love of their country and their fellow-countrymen.

Quote to Toast: “We
can't all be Washingtons, but we can all be patriots.” ~Charles
F. Browne
Everyone deserves
respect, especially the elderly, political officials, (no matter how much you disagree
with them) clergyman, religious persons, law enforcement and educators.... You
know what? Show everyone your respect! It is a known fact that if you treat people
with respect, you will receive it too. And
to those who disagree, well good luck being respected! Muah!
