November is...
National American Indian Heritage Month
I am the flag I look down upon this land called America . I have been here since this great nation was formed, I have seen each battle fought I have seen the heroes die for me, for my country Thank you all those of you Who have kept me flying in the breeze Keeping this country united as one. Thank you those of you who have sacrificed your lives, Giving up all that I may still fly, Watching over the citizens of this nation. Thank you all those of you who have ever fought, I am ever grateful for you. You risked everything; you faced death each day, Faced fear, faced many terrible things. And because of you, my thank you's ring out, Filling the sky, echoing from the hills They find their way to the graveyards, And to all of you still living, You are a special kind of person. To anyone who has ever served this country, And to those serving today Thank you.
New Faces Hello! I would like to formally introduce my self. I’m Jessica Lovelady the Equity and Diversity Resource Center’s new intern. I am very excited to network with people on campus and learn more about diversity. The word diversity is a big word in the world of college. Each college wants a diverse student body on their campus. A college campus is more than a cafeteria, or a coffee stand. You should look into college as a community in which you can meet new people. You are going to learn from one another, no matter if it is another student or a professor. So learn all you can while you are here. You’ve been given an opportunity to expand your views of the world………………….. Embrace it!
As I watch life from atop my flagpole, As I think of all you've done, My feelings become too powerful for words And all I can say is thank you. World Freedom Day - United States In 2001, George W. Bush signed a proclamation dedicating November 9th as World Freedom Day in the United States. This proclamation states that on World Freedom Day… ―We celebrate the new freedom in which much of the world lives today.‖ ―...we also recognize that more than 2 billion people still live under authoritarian regimes.‖
