History, local activities to honor our Military https://lnkd.in/etDMzGEE

My most vivid and most painful memory in 23 years in the US occurred on this day 23 years ago. We lost too many innocent families that day. And so many more since then - brave, selfless people who sacrificed their life so we wouldn't have another 9/11. We cannot be safe without military families. As we remember and mourn those who we have lost today, please consider expressing gratitude to military families who sacrifice every day to keep us safe. Here are some options... 1. Thank them for their service 2. Ask them how we can express our gratitude 3. Volunteer in organizations that support military families Help members of military families build fulfilling careers in the civillian sector... 4. Offer free training 5. Conduct mock interviews 6. Offer mentoring 7. Help with job hunting 8. Consider for internships / apprenticeships 9. Offer jobs 10. Brag about how awesome they are from the rooftops Never forget 9/11. Never forget who sacrifices every day since so we don't have another 9/11.

Whatever America Hope's to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the Heart of America.Pay attention to the universe, it's so translusive.At a time when national power is held by the wealthy, there is a urgent need -if democracy is to serve for people to organize in own communities. The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pity.When god wants to give a message, he makes sure it gets delivered. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.?You always pass failure on way to success. happens for a reason. Is it more than coincidence- Devine nature of light. Is god visible-his humorous ways.A core value that drives is passion for justice- political spectrum emphasis? is on harnessing? these techniques and strategies to increase equal opportunities and Justice in our society -caring for each other and making society more equitable. Truth often suffers more by the heat of its definiatives than from the arguments of its opposers. Has been known to be said, "no way of judging of the future, but by the past." That concerns me, for my children, our children- America in general. I'm determined to not let the root of all evil overrule In God We Trust, especially in family courts. In spite of what's been recently demonstrated, as well as defining and exercising the concepts that differs: helping, protecting, and enabling; right and wrong- for what reasons and for whom. There has been a variety of incidences leading/ leaving me with redirecting concerns. If I was to write out (rewrite at least the incidents up -it would be a novel; can only speak the truth.Better execution of our innovation. Initiative is our challenge.

"Child care accessibility, identified as a problem back in the Army’s 1990 analysis and raised as a key recommendation in the new Quality of Life Panel report, is also getting a closer look." Go ahead and take a look at that MOAA article (yes I ctrl+f for child care before reading any articles) One of the biggest hurdles in the type of advocacy that we do through Operation Child Care Project is the additional burden of explaining why there is a problem. Organizations that help homeless veterans find housing don't have to explain why veteran homelessness is an issue; it is understood. Organizations that set up food boxes/pantries/support don't have to explain why hungry soldiers are an issue; it is understood. VSO organizations focused on increasing healthcare access to disabled veterans don't have to explain why they need healthcare; it is understood. Child care touches everything. We see it affect enlisted and officer families and their ability to serve their country and their families. We see it as a primary barrier to transitioning veterans who find themselves without assistance programs to close the gap with their new salary. The list of situations is endless. It has been highlighted since the 1990s, and we are still educating on its impact. One thing I am grateful for is that the conversations I am having today are much different than the ones I was having seven years ago. When I bring up childcare policy considerations, I am no longer redirected to "ask the local FRG how they can help." I see more organizations like Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and Military Family Advisory Network digging in on what needs to change to fit our modern families. The conversations with families will never get easier, but the barriers to advocating for them are getting smaller.

Every #MemorialDay, we honor the bravery of those who served our nation. The ALS Network (formerly ALS Association Golden West Chapter) deeply appreciates our military heroes and their families, especially those battling #ALS. Today, we remember Senior Chief Eric Amador and his inspiring nine-year journey with ALS. Watch this video and learn more about Eric’s story.

US NAVY'S BLOODIEST DAY On this day, 80 years ago, the largest naval battle in world history began with naval forces of 210,000 sailors and naval airmen engaging in fierce combat. In total, over 1,500,000 combatants were in this single theater-of-war. The naval action part of Battle of Leyte Gulf in WW II was so large that nearly 400 ships and nearly 2,000 aircraft engaged each other for 96 hours over a battle theater 100,000 square miles in area. This was literally War of The Worlds as it was The Empire of Japan's Navy's Last Stand. This naval engagement also has the grim detail of being the single deadliest naval battle in the world's history. Although too many single actions to detail in this post, it is notable that the last great battleship duel took place during Leyte Gulf with America bringing to bear six battleships which absolutely decimated Japanese battleships and their escorts at the Surigao Straits. Japan suffered tremendous losses of over 419,000 killed and injured while the United states suffered over 7,000 sailors and naval airmen killed along with 16,000 soldiers killed. Today, We remember the over 7,000 US sailors and airmen and 16,000 soldiers killed along with the many others who sacrificed all so we would not be conquered by the Evil Japanese.
