They sacrifice a lot so kids can grow strong. On May’s second Sunday (when Mother’s Day is on), honored are loving moms. They’ve earned this response.

Many a veteran, brave men and brave women are worth rememberin’. On November eleven:

They are recognized since they fought for our rights, and to protect others’ lives, they risked their own lives. When a threat did arise, they’re on the front lines. Thanks to those who’ve served and for your sacrifice.
