So much of our mission at Veterans Advantage is to always recognize and thank. With that in mind, this particular weekend marks major patriotic holidays that also recognize two very powerful symbols for our country: Our flag and our Army.

To start, let's recognize and thank past and present members of our U.S. Army, and celebrate its 239th Birthday on Saturday, June 14. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Chief of Staff of the Army, participated in a day of activities in New York City today, including many of his fellow Army soldiers, and the US Army Band.

The theme for this year is "America's Army: Our Profession." – a very important subject in this era of drawdown of forces from our two major Post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A successful transition for this new "greatest generation" is a must, and ensuring our Veterans participate in our workforce is essential.

Flag Day is recognized for its 237th birthday on Saturday, which marks its adoption. If you are at a ball game, or watching one on television this weekend, give thought to its importance when the National Anthem is playing.

Finally, this weekend would not be complete without sending out our best wishes to all you dads out there. Happy Father's Day!
