I didn't get a chance to post yesterday.

Happy L.A.C. Day - April 15 - Law Abiding Citizen Day

"Blue Iris from the GAFC" (An image to remind you to be respectful
to your self and others.)

Thank you for being an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen.

Today we celebrate our American Heritage and how much we are alike.
Civilized citizens come in all sizes, colors, ages, health, wealth,
education levels, religious and political parties. The world is
a safer place to live in because each of us willingly chooses to
hold our self to a higher standard and respect the rights of others.
The only reason we need laws is because of those who choose not to
be an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen.

"Good manners are the great equalizer. They apply to everyone,
are free and available to all. They are the opposite of being
elitist, arbitrary and artificial. When society refuses to obey
the practical rules of etiquette that govern behavior, rudeness
and thoughtlessness will prevail. Every problem of the world
could be, or could have been, solved on the level of etiquette
before descending to lawsuits or wars." says Margery Sinclair.

UNITED WE STAND - DIVIDED WE FALL - IN GOD WE TRUST

Celebrate our American Heritage on L.A.C. Day - April 15 - Law Abiding Citizen Day

Make plans to celebrate L. A. C. Day -- April 15 - Law Abiding Citizens Day

L.A.C. day celebrates our American heritage and how much we are all
alike. Honorable, Hard Working, Civilized, Law Abiding Citizens are
the backbone of the United States of America. We come in all sizes, colors,
ages, health, wealth, education levels, religious and political affiliations.

Traits of an honorable LAC:

We behave decently to others, show consideration when there is conflict,
and maintain composure when displeased.

An honorable person will not lie, cheat, or steal even if the opportunity
presents itself.

We, by choice, are respectful to self and others which is why we can feel
safe in our own homes.

We abide by the laws of the land which reinforce our rights to life, liberty,
and freedom for all.

We elect our government officials from among ourselves. We are there before
the government arrives. We will be there if the government shuts down.

Being an Honorable, Hard Working, Civilized, Law Abiding Citizen is a way
to give something back to your your country, your community, and your family.

United We Stand – Divided We Fall

Thank you for being an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen.
Without you our country could not exist.
