Dear Friends and Family:
November 1-2 are observed as Dias de Los Muertos , honoring the memories of our loved ones.
and November 11th is Veteran's Day, set aside to honor our Veterans.
Words can not express my gratitude to those men and women who dedicate
their lives to protecting our country. As I view the brutality and
devastation caused by Islamic inspired wars, I realize that we can never repay our veterans for the horrors forever etched in their memories. Please pray with me that our in-coming government will attempt to provide for all the needs of our Veterans, and we will fulfill our obligations to them will be set in place.
I give thanks for being born in the United States of Mexican Heritage with a proud history of 500 years of familia contributions to the development of the Americas.
I give thanks for the technological and scientific developments which have provided the means for me to learn of my roots and appreciate mis antipasados, for their sacrifices and accomplishments.
I give thanks for the Christian foundations of our nation, and our inspired Constitution.
I give thanks for our varied/ diverse educational systems, giving all opportunities to improve their lives.
I give thanks for family and friend who strengthen and support me.
I give thanks to you, readers of Somos Primos, who encourage my efforts and share information.
Let us all pray that the Lord will have His Hand on the outcome of the election.
God bless America that it will continue to be a stabilizing force in the world.
Mimi
