Armed Forces Day!


President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank US military members for their patriotic service in support of their 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 the Department of Defense of the USA.


TO ALL THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR SUPREME SACRIFICE!

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS,

For John, Mike, Tania, Gunny, Richard, Aaron, Limek, Phi and all the others...

BE SAFE!

      Marcia,
      Whilst I have fond nostalgic memories about The Shop Around the Corner, I like your new idea! Looking forward to 'gather around the table' with you!
      I have not eaten a good macaron in a very long time...Like a good wine or cheese for that matter, it does not travel so well...sad! I'd send you to that little shoppe nearby (particularly since they also produce my favourite...Chocolate!!)
      Blessings Friend,

    There is a saying, Freedom is not cheap, and you are absolutely right, where would we be without their commitment of honour and duty?!
    I have met throughout the years some amazing young men and women, some who gave the ultimate sacrifice and they should never be forgotten!
    Until they all come Home...
    God bless,
