I heard on TV that Melania Trump had
been in an AFLAC commercial in 2005. I found the commercial on the internet,
and sure enough…that was Melania…even quacked like the AFLAC duck. Funny.
My trip to Mexico is sneaking up…getting
excited to see my brother, Laura, the dogs, the great people of Sabin, and
Lenny and Eleanor.

Native
American Facts…
Native Americans Played a
Crucial Role in World War II
Over 44,000 Native Americans
served in the U.S. military during World War II, both abroad and on the home
front. Their contributions were invaluable, from the famous Navajo Code Talkers
who used their language to create an unbreakable code, to the Mohawk
“Skywalkers” who helped build skyscrapers and bridges.
Native American women also
played a vital role, with many serving as nurses, factory workers, and even
pilots.
Despite facing discrimination
and challenges, these brave men and women fought for their country and helped
secure the Allied victory. Their service and sacrifice are a testament to the
resilience and patriotism of Native American communities.
