The first edition of the New York Times – September 18, 1851

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Military Honors

In 1947, President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act which created the United States Air Force. That’s 78 years of protecting and fighting for our country from the sky using the most technologically advanced systems at all times. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIR FORCE! AIM HIGH!

A Tip of the Hat Goes to…

CHIROPRACTIC FOUNDERS DAY salutes those doctors who bend, crack and stretch our bodies to mend and heal us. Thank you very much for what you do.

Awareness Spotlight shines on…

Thanks to advances in medicine, we can recognize HIV/AIDS AND AGING AWARENESS DAY. People are living a lot longer with this fatal disease than they used to and that is reason to celebrate. Let’s keep making progress and working to find a cure to put an end to it once and for all.

On Today’s Menu…

We had Double Cheeseburger Day the other day and today cuts that in half with NATIONAL CHEESEBURGER DAY. Grab a juicy burger and make it up the way you like. I will still take one with mustard, onions and pickles.

For a succulent side there is NATIONAL PAWPAW DAY. This fruit is native to the U.S. and has a taste somewhere between a mango and a banana.

Snap, crackle and pop, it’s RICE KRISPIES TREATS DAY. Get some cereal, butter, marshmallows and whatever else you want to throw in the mix and make some of those delicious squares today – or you can go buy some.
