For those who gave their lives serving our country, we honor them in May.

Visit gravesites
Spend time with family members
Join in marches or festivals to honor the fallen
Share discussions with family & friends to honor those who served
Give today’s military families support
Celebrate our freedom and peace that their sacrifices provided.
Encourage family members to maintain gratitude that our way of life remains preserved.

We all are responsible for keeping our hopes and dreams alive.

Annually, on the fourth Thursday of November, families and friends gather together to give thanks for their blessings. Watch for future blogs regarding THANKFUL THURSDAYS. These are presented during the year From The Corner Home Office highlighting additional reasons to give thanks.

We welcome your comments, questions and interest as we all learn through LifeSkills Academy’s Mastering The Game Of Life.
