Special Days in June
June Recognition Dates:
11th - 18th National Nursing Assistants’ Week | Flag Day
The U.S. flag is a symbol
Of what Americans treasure;
It represents the values
We cherish beyond measure.
Our flag flies high for freedom,
For legal equality,
For Constitutional rights,
And justice for you and me.
Our flag flies high for bravery,
The courage it takes to fight
And even give our lives
For what we know is right.
Our flag flies high for compassion;
We quickly help those in need;
When there’s a need for service,
Americans take the lead.
The American flag is an icon,
Representing the American way;
Our hearts swell with emotion,
When we see it ripple and sway.

| Fathers are Wonderful People
Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should... Fathers struggle daily
To live up to "the image"
As protector and provider
And "hero of the scrimmage"...
If you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be... Fathers are just wonderful
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolade of praise, For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness... And like our Heavenly Father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be always be on our side.
