A Message from Department President Theresa BrandtSeptember 22, 2021
As we go to our District Fall Conferences, it puts into perspective how great our members are and the great work they do for good of this organization. We have traveled to towns that I had never been too, which is good to make those connections. We see names in the directory and communicate through emails. Now we can put a face to the names. As we drove though Craig, Colorado, their downtown had flags flying all up and down main street. They were flying them for Constitution Day and fly them for all other Patriotic holidays. It was a wonderful to see all of the flags flying in one small town. As Veterans' Day approaches, it is a time for us to pay our respects to all American veterans who have served in the past, present and even pays tribute to those who will serve in the future. Veterans Day especially gives thanks to the living veterans who served their country honorably during war and peacetime. For one day we stand united in respect for our veterans. Veterans Day started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service and was originally called Armistice Day and originated on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I.
