What a wonderful day!!

I'm about to jump in the car and head for my Mom's house in Baton Rouge for an much needed dose of mother's love.

I know that many who visit here today could use a little reassurance that they, too, are loved and supported.

Our troops are scattered far from home. Will you join me on this symbolic day in providing a place where they can find comfort and camaraderie?
