Supporting veterans is a worthy endeavor at any time of year, though such efforts tend to be more prominent in November. Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11 in honor of the millions of individuals across the United States who are military veterans. The day coincides with holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other countries and also honor military veterans.
The support Americans have for their armed forces is evident in how much they donate each year to charities with military-related missions. According to Charity Navigator, Americans donate more than $2.5 billion annually to charities with missions dedicated to the military.
Each November, individuals across the United States gather to remember and honor the brave men and women who devoted their lives to maintaining the freedoms U.S. residents continue to enjoy. Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11 and pays tribute to all American veterans; including the living and deceased, but especially thanks the living veterans who served honorably during war or peacetime, according to History.com.
Little Rock, AR - On Tuesday, Oct. 17, Family Council Action Committee presented Representative Jeremy Wooldridge (R-Marmaduke), with the group’s 2023 Statesman Award. Representative Wooldridge received the award for earning an A on the 2023 Family Council Action Committee’s legislative report card. Recipients of this award are recognized for their votes during the 94th General Assembly on the 25 bills scored in the report card. Erin Hogan of Family Council Action Committee presented the award to Representative Wooldridge at the Arkansas Capitol Building on Tuesday. “Legislators cast hundreds of votes at the State Capitol,” said Hogan, “and their hard work, good votes and dedication to Christian family values often go unseen. We selected votes on key bills based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values. Representative Wooldridge’s votes on those bills reflect those values. That is why we are pleased to present Representative Jeremy Wooldridge with the 2023 Statesman Award.” Family Council Action Committee is a 501 (c) (4) nonprofit organization.
The brain is a miraculous thing. This walnut- shaped organ houses all our intelligence.
So, did you treat, or were you tricked? Well, Halloween has come and gone, and the spirits have all returned to their crypts… we hope. So, how did all this scary stuff get started, anyway? Is it just an excuse to get dressed up in scary costumes and deviate from our normal boring lives (if your life is, indeed, boring)? By late September the merchandising begins black crepe paper strung everywhere, witches in cone shaped pointy hats, riding brooms, black cats, grossly carved pumpkins, figures in flying sheets, and vampires and every other creature of darkness that one can imagine.
