Happy Independence Day!
Hope you all have a safe & happy holiday weekend

Let us remember that our freedom were bought and paid for by the lives of others few of us actually knew. They all had one thing in common – love and loyalty to country. By honoring the nation’s war dead, we preserve their memory and thus their service and sacrifices in the memories of future generations.

I want to give you a little history of where Valentine’s Day first started. Saint Valentine was a bishop who held secret marriage ceremonies of soldiers in opposition to Claudius II who had prohibited marriage for young men. Saint Valentine was imprisoned under Claudius II for his Christian beliefs, and while in jail, he restored the sight of his jailers’ blind daughter through his faith and love for her. Before his execution, on the Feb.14. AD 269, Valentine sent her a note signed “From your Valentine.” This phrase became the everlasting symbol of friendship, affection and sharing with others.
In 1537, Henry VIII, who had more cause than most for sending a Valentines note, established Feb.14th as St.Valentine’s Day by Royal Charter, but it wasn’t until printing techniques started to develop that the exchange of illustrated paper that Valentine’s Day began to develop as we know it today.
