A Pentagon ceremony for National POW/MIA
Recognition Day will be held on Friday,
Sept. 19, 2008. This ceremony will
feature troops from each of the military
services. The president will issue a
proclamation commemorating the
observances and reminding the nation of
those Americans who have sacrificed so
much for their country.
Observances of National POW/MIA
Recognition Day are held across the
country on military installations, ships
at sea, state capitols, schools and
veterans' facilities. This observance is
one of six days throughout the year that
Congress has mandated the flying of the
National League of Families' POW/MIA
flag. The others are Armed Forces Day,
Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day
and Veterans Day. The flag is to be
flown at major military installations,
national cemeteries, all post offices,
VA medical facilities, the World War II
Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial,
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the
official offices of the secretaries of
state, defense and veterans affairs, the
director of the selective service system
and the White House. |

Autumn Begins |
|
September
brings the last day of summer and the
first day of fall. Here is a list of the
precise moments and dates when fall
arrives for the northern hemisphere:
The September Equinox for the northern
hemisphere is the vernal equinox for the
southern hemisphere. Another way to say
this is that when fall begins for the
northern hemisphere, spring begins for
the southern hemisphere. Keeping this in
mind can help you remember why we have
seasons. If part of the globe has
opposite seasons than the other half,
then the reasons for the seasons is NOT
because of how close or far away we are
from the sun. The reason is related to
the tilt of the Earth on its axis.
Although it seems
logical that equinox would refer to day
and night being equal on these two days
of the year, this is not the case. In
the Northern Hemisphere on the fall
equinox, daylight hours will still be
longer than nighttime by about seven to
10 minutes. A couple days after the
equinox, day and night are finally
equal. |

I am getting ready to hit the road for some great
ladies poker tournament action. I like to play with men also, but it is more
pleasant with the gals. A ladies event is almost always an upbeat and positive
experience...... |
