Today, American honors all military personnel who have died while serving our country.

This year, there will be no parades or public events at national cemeteries. Community events have gone virtual. The coronavirus pandemic may have prevented us from gathering to pay tribute to those military veterans who died protecting our county, but nothing will keep us from recognizing their sacrifice.

From Green Key Resources we say, “We remember.”

Happy Hanukkah!

Whether you spell Hanukkah or Chanukah or one of the many other ways, for Jewish families all across the world tonight begins a time of joy and celebrating with food, gifts and games. After this last year, who wouldn’t welcome a joyful celebration!

Hanukkah begins with the lighting of the first of the menorah candles. For each of the next seven nights, an additional candle is lit until all 8 are glowing. For that reason Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of Lights. It celebrates the victory over a Greek army by a small group of Jewish warriors. In rededicating the Jerusalem temple, they found only a small amount of sacred oil to light the menorah. Miraculously, the oil burned for 8 days.

To all friends who celebrate the holiday we say Chanukah Sameach!
