Christmas Quote From Ronald Reagan
December 7, 2013 Leave a comment
“Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.”
― Ronald Reagan

Remembering the Pearl Harbor Attack 72 Years Later
December 7, 2013 Leave a comment
On this day 72 years ago, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, killing 2,402 Americans, also sending the United States into World War II.
As the famous quote stated it is “a date which will live in infamy.”
Let us take the time today to honor our military members that died that day and those that survived such a horrible attack. God Bless them and their families.
Without those serving in our military branches, we wouldn’t be here enjoying the freedoms we have each and every day. We are truly blessed, and owe it all to those we are so fortunate to have protecting our country and our freedoms.
God Bless them now and always. Thanks to each and every one of you and to your families for keeping the United States the land of the free and the home of the brave.
