(Lyn's note: Please feel free to send us any pictures you'd like included. If your photos are for sale, let us know and we will put them under that category. We have a special section for that purpose, and have just added some art as well. Check out Tom Baker's photos for sale. He's the photographer who took that gorgeous photo in the Carefree Gardens Photo Contest that was both the judges' first pick and the public favorite. It's now featured on the Town of Carefree website, and will be the cover of the 2014 Gardens calendar that will be for sale later this summer at Carefree Town Hall. If anyone would like to buy a print of any of Herbert's photos, all profits will be donated to one of the local non-profit organizations.) Here's the link to this week's Pictures of the Week.

Did YOU Know

Happy Veterans Day!

We just want to thank all of the men and women who have served in our Military and those who are currently serving. You all are unsung heroes and we would not be able to enjoy our freedoms with out you ALL! I enjoy exercising our freedom of speech. I get to express that every Monday in an E-blast or a Newsletter about our wonderful community. Well, what is Monday without some interesting facts?? Here are a few I have found about our Military. Did YOU Know?

1. 30 of the 43 Presidents served in the Army, 24 during time of war, two earned the rank of 5-star General (Washington and Eisenhower) and one earned the Medal of Honor (T. Roosevelt)

2. Less than 28 percent of Americans between the ages of 17-23 are qualified for military service, that's only about 1-in-4.

3. The U.S. Air Force was part of the Army until 1946. It was called the Army Air Corp.

4. Only one President (James Buchanan) served as an enlisted man in the military and did not go on to become an officer.

5. The Department of Defense employs about 1.8 million people on active duty. It is the largest employer in the United States, with more employees than Exxon, Mobil, Ford, General Motors, and GE combined!

6. The Department of Defense owns worldwide owns 29,819,492 acres of land worldwide.

7. The United States has 737 military installations overseas alone.

8. The Navy's bell-bottom trousers , are commonly believed to be introduced in 1817 to permit men to roll them above the knee when washing down the decks and to make it easier to remove them in a hurry when forced to abandon ship or when washed overboard. In addition the trousers may be used as a life preserver by knotting the legs and swinging them over your head to fill the legs with air.

9. The Coast Guard seizes 169 pounds of marijuana and 306 pounds of cocaine worth $9,589,000.00 everyday.

10. The Coast Guard is smaller than the New York City Police Department.

11. The Marine Corps motto, "Semper Fidelis," was adopted in 1883 as the official motto. It is Latin for Always Faithful.

12. The nickname "Leatherneck" originates from the stiff leather stock that early Marines wore around their necks, probably to protect their jugular vein against saber blows.

13. The English Bulldog, also known as "Teufel-hunden," or "Devil Dogs," is the unofficial mascot that symbolize the ethos of the Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines. The U.S. Marine Corps earned this unofficial mascot during World War I, when many German reports called the attacking Marines "teufel-hunden," meaning Devil-Dogs. "Teufel-hunden" were the vicious, wild and ferocious mountain dogs of German Bavarian folklore.

14. The U.S. Army was in charge of exploring and mapping America. The Lewis and Clark Expedition was an all Army affair. Army officers were the first Americans to see such landmarks as Pike's Peak and the Grand Canyon.

15. The Air Force's F-117 fighter uses aerodynamics discovered during research into how bumblebees fly.

There will be a fabulous solute to our Veterans today at the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion in Carefree, today from 3 - 5 p.m. We hope you come out and show your support.

Salute to our Veterans

TODAY

This event will feature a mixture of exciting patriotic and military music by Don Morosic and his Main Event Swing Band. Vocalist April Manchester will be returning to the event to sing the Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America. Special speakers will include veterans of the armed forces, who will share their experiences from the past. By popular request, the finale will once again include the bugle call, The Last Post, followed by TAPS on "dueling bugles".

Barbara Hatch, founder of the Veterans Heritage project will be in attendance with her students from Cactus Shadows High School. The Heritage Quilt will be on display. Barbara is the proud recipient of the 2012 Arizona History Teacher of the Year award from the State Board of Education and the Copper Sword from the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame, awarded to a civilian who has shown dedication to the military in a significant way.

Packages from Home (www.packagesfromhome.org) will also be present at the Veteran's Day event to accept items for shipment to troops serving overseas, or donations to help with shipping costs. The most-needed items are toothpaste, eye drops, body lotion or hand cream, foot/body powder, T-shirts (M-XL), boxers (M-XL), jelly (16 oz. plastic squeezable), Rice Krispy Treats, canned spaghetti (14-16 oz. size), peanut butter (16 oz.), and drink mix singles, such as powdered drinks. Alternatively, PFH representatives will be on hand to gladly accept any cash donations, since each package costs $12.95 to ship.

The Association of the United States Army will have a representative available to assist any veterans with questions. The Carefree Kiwanis Club (www.kiwaniscarefree.org) will be providing light refreshments.

Come enjoy the special presentations and join in the opportunity to honor those who have sacrificed for all.
