Military Spouses- Draw and Paint to Help Raise Funds for USA Cares

Congratulations to the Home Sweet Home Campaign - Helping Military Families Connect!

Celebrating Labor - Now Why Do We Celebrate??

Boy the year is flying by, our children are starting school, the weather is changing and if you can believe it, there is Halloween and Thanksgiving merchandise in the stores already!

As we all gear up for a three day weekend, I had to stop and think... Labor Day- the first Monday of September... now why do we get the day off?? Oh yes, to celebrate US - YOU and ME - all the working folks out there! Which got me thinking a bit more about all the different kinds of jobs and responsibilities "US" Americans have. I salute anyone out there that is working day in and day out. Some jobs are more stressful than others, but who am I to judge which job is more important. But I do believe being a soldier and protection our country is by far one of the most admirable! I want to thank each and every one of you out there that has put on a uniform to protect me and my family. You are what makes this country what it is... FREE!

The Home Sweet Home Campaign wants to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday weekend.

Definition: Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is acreation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social andeconomic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearlynational tribute to the contributions workers have made to thestrength, prosperity and well-being of our country.

Oregon was the first U.S. state to recognize Labor Day in 1887. It became a U.S. National holiday in 1894.

In Canada, it became a national holiday on July 23, 1894.

A bit about American Heroes Radio - on BlogTalkRadio www.AmericanHeroesRadio.com
American Heroes Radio provides a platform for the lives, stories and accomplishments of our American Heroes. Each week, a different member of our military, law enforcement, firefighting and emergency services are guests. We invite you to browse the archives and listen to a World War II fighter pilot speaking about his experiences over Iwo Jima; a Navy captain tell his story of Cold War submarine hunting; an Iraq war veteran who was wounded in the head by an RPG; or, any of the large numbers of interviews of law enforcement officials around the country speaking about their expertise, careers and often hair-raising adventures.

TShirts 4 Soldiers - Helping Families Connect with Deployed Loved Ones

The Home Sweet Home Campaign 1st shipment of

TShirts 4 Soldiers has been sent overseas

The TShirts4 Soldiers program is helping people connect with their deployed loved ones. This unique and fun way to send a piece of your heart and home to a Service Member you love is making a big splash in the military world. Spouses, children,Mothers and more are designing “one of kind” TShirts and having them shipped directly to their loved one. In turn, Service Members are sending TShirts they have designed back home to their family and friends.

The TShirts 4 Soldiers program touches three very important groups of people; Military families and friends living stateside, deployed Service Members andpost 9/11 veterans who have returned from the war. Photina Haumschilt, wife of a deployed sailor stated, “The TShirts 4 Soldiers is a wonderful program. It gave my girls and me something special and different to do together that we could send to my husband. We had a great time making the design together as a family. My oldest daughter saw a picture of the TShirt and is so excited that her daddy will be able to wear it soon. Thank you for this program!”
