Every day, in cemeteries all across America, another Veteran is laid to rest. Taps is played and rifle volleys are fired. A flag is gently folded and presented to a grieving family member in recognition and thanks for the Veteran’s service. We want to honor not only those Veterans, but also remember the sacrifice and service of those who no longer have family members who visit their grave sites to remember them and thank them for their service.

We hope that you will join with us to REMEMBER, and thereby HONOR those veterans.

For only $15, you can honor one of those veterans. We hope that you will help, at whatever level you can, to make this campaign successful.

On October 1st, Hampton Assembly made breakfast for the Masons from 8-10. Kensley and I stayed a little after that to listen to a Damsel in Defense demonstration. I love their products! It’s all about keeping yourself safe from people that could try to hurt you. We got to try out some of the products and I got to get an idea of what I want for Christmas.

After that, we stayed while Dad Joe made dinner for Paint Night. The Paint Night was awesome. The picture was a crab and I saw some really good ones and really funny ones. Kensley’s brother painted Sebastian the crab from The Little Mermaid and her aunt messed up on her crab so she just painted over it and said it was hidden in the sand. A couple other Rainbow girls showed up and everyone had fun. It was a very busy and entertaining day.

With Rainbow Love and Service,
