ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS HONOR THANKSGIVING DAY 2010

Another opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving Day has arrived. Thankfully, we thank God for all of the blessings that we have received this past year; and we look forward to the challenges that will enhance our tranformation into holistic and unique human beings that will give glory and honor to our Creator. Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts recognize the generosity of so many thoughtful individuals in America and throughout the world in helping the less fortunate in various parts of the world. In addition, Enthusiasts appreciate the desire, the dedication, and the determination of so many men and women who are serving in the Armed Services throughout the world especially in war time conditions. Many of these individuals are sacrificing their lives in order that others may enjoy the freedoms that were meant for all God's children. Also, Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts applaud the multitude of volunteers who give their time, their talents, and their treasures to touch the war-torn, the homeless, the elderly, the orphans, the depressed, the forgotten, the neglected, and the "nobodies" in every community, town, and village. The private sector has again indicated how uncomplicated challenges can be when communities and peoples work together for the common good and for the benefit of all God's creatures.
Whatever and with whomever you may find to help you celebrate this Thanksgiving Day, remember to thank the many Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts who continue to work 24/7 and 365 days a year to bring peace, joy, and love to the communities that they serve. "Bloom where you are planted" is their slogan; and they improve the "human resource environments" with their focus on what really matters in life. Choose Life on Thanksgiving Day, 2010!

VETERANS' DAY 2010 - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICES FOR OUR FREEDOMS

As we commemorate Veterans' Day, 2010, let us pause to remember all of the men and women in uniform who gave their lives to keep our American freedoms alive and well. Let us also reflect and remember on all of those young men and women who during the new century starting in 2000 fought and died in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to bring peace and freedom to countries that have longed to have self-determination. Today we also welcome back home the many men and women who have bravely served our Country voluntarily with pride, courage, and determination in the face of dangers and perils on the battlefield of foreign soil. Many of the wounded in mind, heart, and in body will always remember the sacrifices that they made in order for all of our American citizens to have the Freedoms that have come with a price tag over the centuries. Remember to salute with honor the veterans of all wars who have served our United States of America with distinction and patriotism that is second to none.
We also recognize the unresolved wars that are still a threat to our Freedoms. The ongoing resistance to the "terrorists, warmongers, traitors, and infidels" who continue to bring havoc with their fears, insults, bombmaking, and ignorance of what inner peace will bring to all peace-loving citizens. For those who want to bring America to her knees by their negative actions, let them remember that America works best under pressure as history has already witnessed. The United States of America will stand firm with the way, the truth, the life that only God gives with all of its blessings. Let us bless God who has already blest America with many freedoms that can easily be lost by ingratitude by its recipients. Stand up, America, and salute the many souls who have given their lives that you may live in freedom...in the freedoms that God has given with generosity, love, and patience. Let us honor the deceased veterans with a pledge to respect the dignity and the sacredness of human life at all stages of development...from conception to natural death. Let us stop the "War on the Unborn" with a return to the faith that has always made America blest by God.
Let us stamp out "domestic violence in the home," which is where love should abound with responsible parenthood and parents. Let us rid ourselves in our Land of the "wars in the streets" because of rampant drugs and secularistic allurements. The Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts desire a "transformation" that will remake America to be again the land of the free and the home of the brave. We have a dream that is not a "nightmare." Let us value the dignity and the uniqueness of all of our American citizens that our Veterans fought for and died for as we commemorate this Veterans' Day 2010.
