WIMSA: North Coast WAVES, Unit 21 has invited us to join them on a bus trip to Washington, DC to attend the 10th Anniversary of The Women in Military Service for America Memorial. The date for the festivities has not |
been decided as yet due to a problem finding a facility large enough to accommodate the large
number of women expected to attend the gala dinner. WIMSA is still hoping to hold the event
on October 18, 19, and 20th, but there is a possibility of moving the date one week forward or
backward. The trip is still in the planning stage, but if you are interested, please contact
Sharon Nicholson. A flyer will be sent out as soon as the dates and the cost of the trip are
available.Happy Birthday!
The National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day to pause in an act of national unity (duration: one minute).The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died for our freedom. It will help to reclaim Memorial Day as the sacred and noble holiday it was meant to be. In this shared remembrance, we connect as Americans. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
