cruising – watercress words by Dr Aletha

Remembering June 6, 1944

First, people in the United States, Europe, and other Allied nations remember the events of June 6, 1944, the beginning of the end of World War 2.

In 1943, Bill deployed to England, and prepared for the invasion of France. What he thought would be a grand adventure turned into a nightmare which he vividly captured in his book.

Where I live, we just saw the first day of summer, the longest day of the year, come and go. Summer activities are in full swing, with friends either getting back or preparing to leave on vacation.

For July topics we’ll look at summer safety and wellness. We often call winter the cold and flu season, so we could call summer the poison ivy, sunburn, and bug bite season. Unfortunately, it’s also the season for drownings and water sports accidents.

Celebration

Here in the United States, we have our most important holiday of the year-Independence Day, but usually just referred to as the 4th of July. Why do I say it is the most important? Because without it, we wouldn’t be a country!

On this day in 1776, the North American colonies of England declared political independence, and the rest, as they say, is history. Much has happened in the almost 250 years since, and the United Kingdom is now an ally.

An American citizen, former actress Meghan Markle, married into the British royal family. She and Prince Harry have two children, also American citizens, who are in line for the British throne! (Granted, pretty far down.)

Friendship is worth pursuing between people and countries.
