Today, veterans who have served in the armed forces of the United States and the Commonwealth of Nations are being remembered and honored for service and sacrifice. For any man or woman who wore a uniform of service, may you always feel the gratitude of your fellow citizens. Your sacrifice means a lot. Thank you for giving your all.
Boxing Day, the traditionally British holiday recognized the day after Christmas, offers an extension of the festivities. People in countries like Canada, the U.K. and South Africa spend an extra day with friends, shopping or watching sports.
It’s origins come from a time during Queen Victoria’s reign when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants – a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.
To all celebrating I hope it has been a good day of being with those you love and care about.

Today is Coronation Day. May God be with Charles and Camilla on this historic occasion. Let’s hope for a good future for The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations.
I have friends who are British and they deserve a government that is about service to the country rather than turmoil within the Conservative party. A general election is what would settle some issues and move the country forward.
With that being said outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss was in a no-win situation.
Let’s hope for the best for the UK.
Remembrance Day a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.
