Where I live, summer starts on June 21. Our schools are on break, families are traveling, and outdoor events crowd the calendar. We celebrate fathers, flag, and freedom-Father’s Day, Flag Day, and Juneteenth.
In this post, I’ve gathered some guides for summer safety and wellness, although most can be helpful at any time of the year.

How neat there is a D-Day memorial. I fear we don’t learn as much from history as we should. Thanks for sharing this with us at the Will Blog for Comments #64 linkup. Hope to see you next time, too. Have a great week!

I was happy to have read your post today. It is so important for today’s generation to fully understand what took place so history doesn’t repeat itself and to know why and be thankful we’re free.
Thank you so much for sharing with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.

I was so happy to read this post! We are so buried under the deluge of triviality that we need help to remember the BIG moments of history that have shown us what valor looks like!

I didn’t know there was a D-Day Memorial. I think these are so important so we remember the past. I am still torn about the removal of Civil War monuments. I can see both sides of the argument. We need to know about the past to learn from it. Thank you for sharing this, Dr. Aletha!

Marsha, I didn’t know about the memorial either. I researched D-Day for this post and found it. I love it when my readers and I learn something together. I definitely believe in learning from the past, both the good and the bad, and especially how the bad was corrected.
