LABOR DAY:An OPPORTUNITY to show your PRIDE & PATRIOTISM

I ran across a wonderful website today, that offers to send a FREE AMERICAN FLAG, as well as the opportunity to write a thank you note and send a card to a disabled veteran. I wish I would have seen this site sooner! I plan to send as many cards as I can to thank the men and women for the sacrifice they may have made or are still making to allow me, and my family and friends to live free and safe.



Here is the link, if you'd like to send a THANK YOU NOTE TO A VETERAN, yourself:

Here are some of the links that you can choose from on the right side of the page:

Be a Hero for a Hero
eBay Giving Works
Honorary & Memorial Gifts

Send an eCard
Free Address Labels



While you're there, you might want to take the opportunity to nominate TOLEDO as the "most patriotic" city. You can do so by going to the same site: http://www.pva.org
and look for the link to go where you wish to go.
The winning city/town will be notified and announced September 2007 and publicized on www.pva.org.

BY THE WAY: LABOR DAY FIREWORKS HERE IN TOLEDO ARE GOING TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd, and can be viewed from downtown Toledo and International Park, on the East Side, as usual. I CAN'T WAIT....hope I find someone to go with! Maybe I'll take my "mate" tried and true, who loves me more than anyone, my dog, Punkin.

(NOTE - 2011 - CITIFEST IS NO MORE!)

Celebrate CitiFest’s 20TH birthday during the annual RiverFest celebration. CitiFest closes the summer season with a bang as RiverFest and Pandemonium VIII Fireworks present the summer’s grand finale. The Labor Day tradition continues to rock the riverfront with electrifying music and explosive illuminations in the sky. Pandemonium VIII Fireworks, one of the largest and loudest Labor Day fireworks shows in Northwest Ohio, will take to the skies shortly after the sun goes down. The fireworks soundtrack will be broadcast live on a local radio station. With the best in national entertainment, food vendors, and fireworks, RiverFest is a high-charged ending to the summer for the entire family, benefiting the Toledo Zoo.

Enjoy what's left of Summer!
