Mother's Day Winner / Armed Forces Day ~

Armed Forces Day -
President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.

On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days.

The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the Department of Defense.

Mother's Day - Give A Way !

This is a day to celebrate our Mom's.

'Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human
being to do the impossible.'
- Marion C. Garretty, quoted in ::
'A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul'

My Mom was a very strong woman, intelligent, wise beyond her years, empowering, loving and funny Lady. Yes .. we had our little 'spats' as all children do, however,
she was the one who always told me to reach for the stars. And I miss her .. every single day.

So, whether you are a Mom, Aunt, Niece, Cousin, Sister, Friend .. we celebrate you .!! for your loving and nurturing ways.
