PRINTPatriot Day – 5th Anniversary
Fly the American Flag Today!
On this fifth anniversary of our country’s horrific tragedy, let us show our patriotism and fly the American flag or wear a flag pin.
Patriot Day was established as a way to commemorate those who lost their lives on 9/11, and to show compassion to their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and our earnest support and respect to those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
One flag, one land
One heart, one hand
One nation evermore!
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
~John 15:13 KJV Holy Bible
There are those, I know, who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is. It is the American dream.
~Archibald MacLeish
May our great nation and all the divine principals, which our government was founded upon, remain more than a memory but a fixed reality that we liberally enjoy, uphold, cherish, defend and protect.
~Deborah S. Tukua

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
