HAPPY NEW YEAR

 I hope everyone had a wonderful time during the Holidays.

Thank You to all the Auxiliaries that have reported. You have done some great things for our Veterans and their families.  It’s never too late to go to the schools and put on a Patriotic Program. If you need supplies you can order from the VFW supply store.

Holidays to remember in January:

            1^st –  New Years Day – fly your Flag
            2^nd – George Washington unfurled the AMERICAN FLAG for the first time
            15^th – Teacher for the Year Award NATIONAL DEADLINE
            17^th – Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday [observed] fly your flag
            17^th – Ben Franklins Birthday
 

The answer to the question:  “Where did the inscription on the Liberty Bell come from?”
It's inscription "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," is from the Bible [Leviticus 25:10]

Here is another question and I will have a box on my table at the February C of A drop your answer in with your name and Auxiliary number and I will have a drawing for the first 3 correct answers.

Trivia Question:  Has a real Veteran ever received an Oscar in a Movie? Yes or No

If so, what is the name of the Veteran?

Remember to always smile it doesn’t cost a thing.
