Window Blinds Have A Price

On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the Department of Defense. Each of the military leagues and orders was asked to drop sponsorship of its specific service day in order to celebrate the newly announced Armed Forces Day. ...
The theme of the first Armed Forces Day was "Teamed for Defense." It was chosen as a means of expressing the unification of all the military forces under a single department of the government. Although this was the theme for the day, there were several other purposes for holding Armed Forces Day. It was a type of "educational program for civilians," one in which there would be an increased awareness of the Armed Forces. It was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job is performed and the role of the military in civilian life. It was a day for the military to show "state-of-the-art" equipment to the civilian population they were protecting. And it was a day to honor and acknowledge the people of the Armed Forces of the United States.

We take the right to sell window blinds and shades for granted like most people who purchase window treatments.

WELL....NOT THIS YEAR!

Thanks to all the men and women who have and are and will serve in the United States Military Armed Forces. In agreement with military force or disagreement you give your time and risk your lives for the freedom we Americans too often take for granted. I would like to add a special thanks to your families as well. They miss you and endure much hardship for the sake of what you do.

Please remember our volunteers in the Military when you buy your new wood blinds, cellular shades and roman fold shades. I know I will try to recall the freedom we enjoy to be in business which is largely in part to these wonderful people.

Thank You and God Bless.
