Saluting our Military Families!
A month dedicated to honoring all those who served and to the family members who supported those service members.
On November 11th, our nation recognizes the service and dedication of military veterans on Veterans Day Originally called Armistice Day, after the armistice signed by the allies and Germany that signaled the end of World War I, the name was changed in 1954 to include veterans from all wars, both living and deceased.
The month of November is also about celebrating military families. Originally a single day holiday, in 1996, the Armed Services succeeded in expanding November into a month-long observance of “Military Families Month” via presidential approval. Every year since, the government has declared the month as a National observance through a signed proclamation and it is a wonderful opportunity to recognize both your dedication and service to our country
Liberty Military Housing would like to thank all of our military families for your steadfast support as you have faced the special challenges of long deployments, family separations, and frequent relocations with great courage and resolve. Your selfless dedication, which has directly contributed to the mission readiness of our service members, is a source of inspiration and deep gratitude.
Do you have a needed repair, a suggestion, or a concern? Liberty Military housing is committed to enriching the lives of military families through providing homes and vibrant communities Your feedback is an important piece in helping us accomplish this goal, and we want to ensure we provide you with an avenue to initially address your needed repair, suggestion, or concern and the process to escalate it, should that be necessary Below is an outline of our easy Three-Step process for concerns and opportunities for feedback

A WORD FROM OUR WEST ARMY PARTNERS
No Waste November
By: Kiley Westergaard, DPW Environmental Division, AGEISS
Does the term “No Waste November” feel intimidating to you? Going from our usual waste to no waste seems like a huge jump. “No Waste November” does not need to mean a giant lifestyle change though Picking just a few ways to reduce waste can make a difference Often, environmentally friendly swaps are even more convenient than their wasteful counterparts.
Paper towels are one of the most commonly used items in a home because they are very convenient. It is easy to clean up a spill quickly, then simply toss the paper towel in the trash Instead, try buying a pack of inexpensive towels and a basket When a spill happens, take your towel, clean it up, and throw the towel in the basket When the basket is full, simply throw the towels in the washer. Towels are much more absorbent, so it is actually easier to clean up with them. If it is a very messy spill, start with a paper towel, then finish with the towel. Completely removing paper towels from your daily routine might be hard, but reducing the number of times you reach for them is a great place to start. Using up a roll of paper towels every few months is much better than using a roll a week
Using a reusable coffee cup can also help reduce waste and is better than the single-use item A reusable coffee mug is much sturdier than the paper or plastic ones we receive at coffee shops. Some coffee shops even offer a discount if you bring your own cup.
Swapping out your cup reduces waste, is more convenient, and saves money.
Another easy way to reduce waste and make life more convenient is to go paperless with your bills and statements. Many companies offer a paperless option where you can see statements and bills online instead of receiving them in the mail This option helps reduce paper usage, which protects the planet and reduces all that clutter in your mail box
Making a positive environmental impact does not need to be complicated. Follow us on Facebook at Sustainable JBLM for more tips on reducing your environmental impact.
