Hayley Ann Boswell ⭐️This hit me. Our eldest is onto her 7th school and all four of our children have faced challenges with their education due to being Defence Kidz. Thankfully, they have also thrived. As Defence families, we do not get to pick where we live. The amount of times some snarky person on the phone has said to me, "Why didn't you have them on the wait list from birth?" We, as Defence families, don't get that luxury. How about priority of placement for Defence Kidz in ALL childcare centres. Who needs respite more than a Defence spouse doing it solo? How about State School of CHOICE? We don't get to pick where we live, so how about allowing us to pick the State school that best suits our child regardless of catchment area? Small actionable outcomes that would give Defence families a little bit of power to determine the best educational outcomes for their children. These options are already available to at risk children, so the framework is there. How about our Defence Kidz?

https://lnkd.in/dePzE-ib American Indians and Alaska Natives serve in the Armed Forces at five times the national average and have served with distinction in every major conflict for over 200 years. Considering the population of the U.S. is approximately 1.4https://lnkd.in/dgC2U6m8 percent Native and the military is 1.7 percent Native (not including those that did not disclose their identity), Native people have the highest per-capita involvement of any population to serve in the U.S. military. Subtract and you will see in 1823 the US put the American Indians in harms way. Let's look at the Treaty https://lnkd.in/ebqiNbzN and you will see that was illegal. The US in 1971 reclassified us to Blacks and have not taken care of the loses. The US has never honored the American Indians and must pay for it. This website does not show one American Indian All of the Fake American Indians need to be imprisoned until they DIE. In fact all people who pretend to be American Indians regardless of age must be imprisoned. 

National business sensibilities need to be adopted ASAP. THE DEFICIT DRIVEN TAX & SPEND POLICIES ARE KILLING AMERICA.

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Fallen Heroes This Memorial Day 🇺🇲 Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a solemn day to remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our country. More Than a Summer Kickoff! While Memorial Day often marks the unofficial start of summer, with barbecues and backyard get-togethers, it's important to remember the true meaning of the holiday. It's a day to honor the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom. 🇺🇲 Ways to Observe Memorial Day - Visit a cemetery or memorial: Pay your respects to fallen soldiers by placing flags on their graves or attending a local ceremony. - Volunteer your time: Many organizations hold events to honor veterans on Memorial Day. Consider volunteering at a veteran's home or participating in a fundraising event. - Learn about the history of Memorial Day: Reflect on the origins of the holiday and the sacrifices made throughout American history. - Moment of silence: At 3:00 pm local time on Memorial Day, a National Moment of Remembrance is held. Pause for a moment of silence wherever you are to honor those who died serving our country. #MemorialDay #HonorTheFallen #NeverForget 🇺🇸 By remembering and honoring our fallen heroes, we can ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.

BIG NEWS for veterans, their caregivers—and those with a financial interest in Home Care and Caregiver Services ;) H.R.542 - Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act of 2023 PASSED HOUSE. Next: U.S. Senate. I’ve been following this Act and its key players for a while now, and a significant portion of my manuscript deals with the details of this legislation. In summary, “The total cost of providing services or in-kind assistance in the case of any veteran described in subparagraph (B) for any fiscal year under the program may exceed 100 percent of the cost that would otherwise have been incurred as specified in paragraph (1) if the Secretary determines, based on a consideration of clinical need, geographic market factors, and such other matters as the Secretary may prescribe through regulation, that such higher total cost is in the best interest of the veteran.” If I snag some free time and there’s interest, I’ll put out an article on it.

The legacy of FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps lives on through The Corps Network (TCN), providing environmental justice and economic mobility for 25,000 young adults and veterans each year. TCN's commitment to racial equity began at the grassroots level, leading to the launch of the Moving Forward Initiative in 2017. Key benefits of this initiative include: - A deeper understanding of structural racism and unconscious bias - Rethinking post-service opportunities for Corpsmembers - Formal investments in racial equity programming - Creation of advisory councils to prioritize Corpsmembers’ experiences Navigating a network of 139 organizations, TCN's approach demonstrates how complex networks can engage in meaningful racial equity conversations. Learn more about TCN’s journey and how it can inspire your organization to move forward with equity and justice: https://wkkf.co/mjsd
