Remembering Veterans On Veterans Day

February Is Black History Month #BlackHistoryMonth

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. There are also recognitions of Black History Month in Canada, United Kingdom and The Netherlands. You cannot tell the story of a nation without Black stories being heard.

Throwback Thursday – Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls #TBT

This duo has one of the great sounds of Brit-pop of the 1980’s. Something about their voices and the music that paints a mental picture of a place with real people.
