A Proclamation from President Bush
`For generations, women across our great land have helped make our country stronger and better. They have improved our communities and played a vital role in achieving justice and equal rights for all our citizens. During Women`s History Month, we celebrate the many contributions women make to our society.
At the end of the 19th century, pioneers Jane Addams and Ellen Starr opened the doors of Hull House to serve impoverished and immigrant families in the Chicago community. Presidential Medal of Freedom winner Annie Dodge Wauneka worked to educate her native Navajo community about preventing and treating disease. In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, helping to inspire a nationwide movement for equal justice under the law. Recently, our Nation said goodbye to another remarkable American woman and courageous civil rights leader, Coretta Scott King, who helped call America to its founding ideals.

Today, the United States of America remains a country that offers the greatest freedom on Earth and believes in the promise of all individuals. Women continue to strengthen our Nation and the world by excelling as leaders in all walks of life, including business, law, politics, family life, education, community service, science, medicine, and the arts. The brave women who wear the uniform of the United States Armed Forces are helping to lay the foundations of peace and freedom for generations to come. This month, I encourage all Americans to join me in celebrating the extraordinary achievements and contributions of American women.`

I also sent this e-mail from work, but it was missing the message from our Chief of Naval Operations, so it is copied below so you can see the importance of this Holiday and month.

1. THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES THAT MARCH 2007 MARKS THE 20TH ANNUAL OBSERVANCE OF WOMEN`S HISTORY MONTH, A TIME WHEN THE NAVY CELEBRATES AND RECOGNIZES THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS WOMEN HAVE MADE TO OUR NAVY AND NATION. THE PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF WOMEN`S HISTORY IN THIS COUNTRY BEGAN IN 1978 AS WOMEN`S HISTORY WEEK IN SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. IN 1987, CONGRESS EXPANDED THE CELEBRATION TO A MONTH, AND MARCH WAS DECLARED WOMEN`S HISTORY MONTH.

2. THIS YEAR`S THEME: GENERATIONS OF WOMEN MOVING HISTORY FORWARD RECOGNIZES THE WISDOM AND TENACITY OF THE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN WHO HAVE COME BEFORE US AND THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW. THE YEAR 1908 SAW THE FIRST GENERATION OF WOMEN IN THE NAVY WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NURSE CORPS AND TODAY COMPRISES 15 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL FORCE. TODAY`S GENERATION OF WOMEN INCLUDES TWO THREE-STAR ADMIRALS, 14 TOTAL ACTIVE DUTY FEMALE FLAG OFFICERS WITH THREE FEMALE FLAG SELECTEES. WOMEN ARE COMMANDING MAJOR COMMANDS, COMBATANT SHIPS, AVIATION SQUADRONS, CIVIL ENGINEER CORPS COMMANDS, AND NUMEROUS OTHER OPERATIONAL AND SHORE COMMANDS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY SEVEN WOMEN IN COMMAND OF SURFACE COMBATANTS, THREE IN AVIATION COMMAND AND 44 ENLISTED WOMEN SERVING AS COMMAND MASTER CHIEFS.

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS WOMEN CONTINUE TO MAKE EACH DAY THROUGHOUT THE FLEET. IN HIS DIVERSITY POLICY CNO EXPLAINS, EVERYONE IN OUR NAVY CONTRIBUTES TO MISSION SUCCESS, AND EVERYONE BRINGS TO THAT COLLECTIVE EFFORT UNIQUE CAPABILITIES AND INDIVIDUAL TALENT. INCREASING WOMEN IN TECHNICAL FIELDS AND RATINGS REMAINS A CNO TOP PRIORITY, LIKE ANY ORGANIZATION IN TIME OF CHANGE, WE THRIVE ON THE INFUSION OF NEW IDEAS AND THE DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT.

4. WE SALUTE THE WOMEN IN THE NAVY, BOTH MILITARY AND CIVILIAN, AND ENCOURAGE ALL COMMANDS TO RECOGNIZE WOMEN`S HISTORY MONTH BY SPONSORING LOCAL ACTIVITIES AND EXHIBITS, PUBLISHING ITEMS OF INTEREST IN COMMAND BULLETINS, AND SOLICITING INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATION IN APPROPRIATE OBSERVANCES.

I really enjoyed the last party and look forward to the next party.
Thought: Life moves pretty fast, if you do not stop and look around once in a while you could miss it. By Ferris Bueler on his day off.

Also, I wanted to share something I received that is really important in this crazy world we live in.
Family Watch Dog ***IMPORTANT***

I wanted to share a website with you that is a good idea to visit.

It is www.familywatchdog.us

When you visit this site you can enter your address and a map will pop up with your house as the small icon of a house and red, blue, green, dots surrounding your entire neighborhood. When you click on these dots a picture of a person will appear with an address and the description of the crime he or she had committed.
This site was developed by John Walsh from Americas Most Wanted.
Another tool to help us keep our kids safe. Please pass this on to anyone who has a family.

It has been a real pleasure to meet club members at the Bethesda's Europa cafe.
It was very successful effort to create "an intellectual Russia" in the heart of the US capital.
I am looking forward for any future occasions to meet you again and spend a good time together.
