SUMMARY:Exchange Club of Springfield greets Janet Wells from Honor Flight
DESCRIPTION:We will meet at Linardos Villa\, Tuesday November 1st\, 2016\, Noon. Our guest speaker will be Janet Wells from Honor Flight. \nHonor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington\, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors\, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. \nOf all of the wars in recent memory\, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse\, free society. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs\, an estimated 640 WWII veterans die each day. Our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out.  Since 2005\, Honor Flight has taken some 159\,703 to Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:Happy Independence Day!
DESCRIPTION:Many will celebrate with fireworks our Independence Day\, the “illuminations” that Mr. Adams refers to.  We owe much of our current celebrations of Independence Day due to the vision of John Adams of Massachusetts. \n“The Second Day of July 1776\, will be the most memorable Epocha\, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated\, by succeeding Generations\, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated\, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade\, with Shews\, Games\, Sports\, Guns\, Bells\, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”  John Adams\, July 3rd\, 1776 in a letter to his wife\, Abigail Adams. \nOf course we today celebrate not on the 2nd of July when the Declaration was ratified by Congress\, but on the 4th of July when the Declaration was first read to the Army in the field.
