Greetings to all the wonderful, dedicated, and patriotic Mamas of the BSMA! As we begin our new program year, I am honored to serve you and our organization as the National Patriotic Instructor for 2009-2010.
There are so many exciting and fantastic projects we can implement in our Chapters throughout the country ~ so many things we can learn and share ~ so many historic events we can take part in and support one another through!
We are women who stand straight as we step forth to take our BSMA oath, women who profess and sustain the American way of life. Women ~ and mothers ~ who establish and expand the qualities of strength, loyalty, and courage within ourselves and our children who serve!
Look for upcoming articles in the newsletter ~ information on our patriotic web page ~ and items sent to the Departments and Chapters! What are the things you would like to see? How do you see yourself serving? It is going to be a great and exciting year for all of us!
I invite you to contact me at any time with questions and/or comments on Americanism, Our Flag, or Patriotism. Please contact me at patrioticinst@bluestarmothers.org
Thank you for this opportunity to serve.

A-M-E-R-I-C- A
A is for Army, they know their stuff;
M is for Marines, they really are tough;
E is for Eagles, the force of the air; R is for righteousness and all that's fair; I is for invisible, that's our Navy at sea; C is for Coast Guard, efficient as can be; A is for America, whose flag is unfurled, that describes America folks, the best in the world.
