A combination of warmer weather and easy accessibility can result in the loss of property and possible entry into your residence. Please take the time to lock your doors on your vehicles and home. Also remember to lock all windows, out buildings and attached garages. These are just some suggestions so that you don't become a victim of a crime.

He was adopted by a wonderful lady who was discovered by a cross posting from Rose's Rescue . Thank you to Patricia, his new owner and also thank you to the UnderBone Railroad for transporting him. This is an all volunteer transport service that relays animals to their new FUR-EVER families. 🐾🐶🐾

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday.

Did you know that the design of the American flag has changed 27 times since 1777?
