Honor Our Law Enforcement

                                     

Despite unfavorable press regarding our law enforcement and border patrol officers, these dedicated men and women are worthy of our respect. These brave individuals have chosen a mostly thankless occupation, one that is extremely dangerous! They choose to serve us, to help us and to protect us! God bless them because, when we need special assistance, they are there!

Here are just a few ways we can show them our simple appreciation and honor them:

  • Show them respect - they deserve it!
  • When close to them, give them a smile and a "thumbs up."
  • Greet them with a "thank you!"
  • Keep in mind they are our defenders and our helpers.
  • Be aware of their personal safety!
Our peace officers work in shifts -- they get hungry -- they eat out; buy them a meal. See two or three of them sitting together at a table in a cafe or burger restaurant, anonymously, get their server's attention and offer to pay their tickets. When they go to pay, they will be surprised to hear: "It's been paid by a person who wanted to honor you guys and they said to tell you 'Thank you for your service!'"

Unfortunately, there will likely come a time when in an emergency we will need help. Be glad these heroes will be there when we need them most! 

I personally want to say thank you officers...and to all of our great first responders! 

"We've got your six!"

Let The Good Times Roll

  Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler! In other words, “Let the good times roll!” Mardi Gras is just around the corner, and Mardi Gras is about letting go of the not-so-good times and having yourself a whole lot of fun! This year, Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Mardi Gras in New Orleans returns after another year of the pandemic. Mayor LaToya Cantrell has told New Orleans Mardi Gras will return to the city in 2022. However, there are changes, mostly in altered routes of the famous parade through the city. Interested in going? Check with event planners. Thanks to French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, it is believed Mardi Gras began March 3, 1699 when he camped just downriver from what is now New Orleans. Back in France, it was Fat Tuesday. Pierre named the camping spot Point du Mardi Gras and held a party there! I suppose he likely toasted to the event exclaiming “Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!” I don’t know this for a fact but I’m going to go with it! A few years later, a g...

Our Allies and Strategic Partners

 Our Allies and Strategic Partners , the Pentagon, and White House officials throw these words out a lot. What do they mean? I have a basic understanding of the words but they sort of have the same meaning don't they? They do! When we hear our Defense Department officials use these words, they are very careful about how they use them. How so? In the world of international relations, they have two different meanings. Alliances Where we have alliances, we have formal agreements with other countries. Agreements in national defense that other countries promise they will support each other, especially during a war. The U.S. is in alliance with NATO -- the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NORAD -- the North American Aerospace Defense Command (with Canada), ANZUS -- Australia, New Zealand and U.S. Security Treaty, and the Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship -- Which is America's oldest unbroken treaty. Documents that make alliances official are treaties, aka "treaty ally....
