Thank you Buddy. Greatly appreciated. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas! Today is: Quotes of the Day: “Sing like no one’s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” – (Attributed to various sources) “Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.” – Leo Burnett “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”– Soren Kierkegaard “Turn your wounds into wisdom.” — Oprah Winfrey Music of the Day: Katy Perry - Roar (Official) On This Day In History: 1974 Mariner 10's, 1st fly-by of Mercury, returns photos 1974 Chinese farmers discover the Terracotta Army near Xi'an, 8,000 clay warrior statues buried to guard the tomb of China's 1st emperor, Qin Shi Huang 1989 I.

Joining West Virginia as the only other state to be granted statehood during the Civil War, Nevada is a study in contrasts. The mostly desert landscape is nearly devoid of trees. With vast open spaces, dramatic gorges, majestic mountains and windswept rock formations, the state transforms quickly. Nevada may have once been the loneliest state and is home to the loneliest highway.After the Comstock Lode discovery of silver in 1859, the population grew dramatically. By 1864 when the state was admitted to the union, Nevada lacked the 60,000 to be granted statehood and didn’t gain the residents until 1880. It would even lose population according to the U.S. Census Bureau and not achieve the qualifying numbers again until 1910. Lonely or not, Nevada was the first state to vote for the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. Nevada wasn’t lonely for long. The population exploded when two railroads connected in 1905 and established a town called Las Vegas and first platted in 1910. It would be 30 years before the first resort would open. Casinos and glamour would soon follow. As the casinos began to sprout, construction of Hoover Dam began. Formerly named Boulder Dam, the dam on the Colorado River provides hydropower to Nevada, Arizona, and California. Most of the state is made up of National Parks providing some of the best opportunities for star-gazing anywhere. Perhaps that’s why Area 51 attracts so much attention and mystery. Well, who are we kidding? HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalNevadaDay Join National Day Calendar as we recognize Nevada’s hidden treasures and natural beauty. Uncover hidden gems and a little luck in Nevada!

On March 29, 1973, combat and combat support units withdrew from South Vietnam. Generations later, Veterans of this time period are gaining the respect that was not so freely given upon their return. Involving five U.S. presidents, crossing nearly two decades and 500,000 U.S.military personnel, it left an indelible mark on the American psyche. Returning veterans did not always receive respectful welcomes upon their arrival on American soil. Over 58,000 killed, never to return. The observance recognizes the military service of these men and women who answered the call to serve their country when she needed them. They didn’t make the decisions to go to war. Throughout the observance, we recognize the service and duty rendered by all servicemen and women of this era. HOW TO OBSERVE #VietnamWarVeteransDay * Thank a Vietnam Veteran.

NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY HISTORY https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-vietnam-war-veterans-day-march-29/ National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day honors all small business owners each year on March 29th. Small businesses are a vital part of the United States economy, and the critical role they play is sometimes overlooked. Consumers can show them their much-deserved appreciation by shopping locally and at small businesses. * Give gift cards from your favorite small businesses to encourage others to shop there. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there are more than 27 million small businesses in the United States. Owning your own business is a goal that many people strive to attain. It takes long hours, hard work, and much dedication. Countless hours of nurturing the business are needed in the process of growing the business. From starting out to building and expanding, a successful small business is the goal of every owner. Some of these Mom and Pop shops are handed down from one generation to the next while others are new start-ups. “Mom and Pop” businesses offer superior customer service as the owners take personal pride in their operations as well as pride in their communities. HOW TO OBSERVE #MomAndPopBusinessOwnersDay When it comes to showing children what it’s like to run a small business, families can do this right in their own homes. How? Designate separate areas of the house as a small business. For example: * Kitchen = grocery or diner Break out the Monopoly money and divide it up between the kids. Download and print the ledger we created and have your children create their own business. Now, everyone in the house is also a customer. Spend the day being business owners AND customers in your own home. The businesses you decide to create will require each person to make purchases to use them. As you divide your home into businesses, be sure to think about your home as a community and how it all works together. Use #MomPopBusinessOwnersDay to post on social media.
