June 22, 2018 TGIF! This week on our mistletoetom.com website and Facebook page we’ve shared quite a few memories. If you’re a regular follower of this blog you’re aware of our appreciation for history, if you’re checking out this blog for the first time we hope you’ll enjoy. We have posted about historical events ranging from WWII battles and heroes, NASA astronauts and space shuttle launches, to documents and events during the founding of our country. In the first blog of the week, I reminisced about the reasons in my own life why I have become a history buff – and why we share history to educate others here. Another special post was a few days ago when we celebrated the birthday of Sir Paul McCartney. He was born in Liverpool, England on June 18, 1942. During his long musical career, he has earned many awards and honors, noteworthy among them the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize which was presented to Sir Paul at the White House in 2010. Again, regular followers of Mistletoe Enterprises and Victory & Valor know that we publish a lot of content featuring astronauts and military figures, but not as many from the arts. So it seems. But rest assured, we appreciate the arts! We often include with the posts excellent photography – with applicable sources and credits. Or we feature portraits, paintings or other images associated with the person or event we’re describing. It may seem secondary, but it’s not. We love the arts and love to share the arts in the content we deliver. So, today’s trending internet video of Sir Paul McCartney joining James Corden on a beautiful tour of McCartney’s childhood home was a timely event to feature in this blog entry. It combines a respect for history with an appreciation for artistic talent. Certainly, it stirs emotion as well. Mostly, it underscores our mission and values to educate others by spreading cheer and telling stories of heroes from all walks of life. Since it’s Friday and many of us want to begin a weekend of relaxing, I won’t elaborate – but I honestly don’t think I need to. I’ll just leave a couple links for you to enjoy at your leisure. www.facebook.com/Mistletoetom/photos/a.136574766994582.1073741828.136516950333697/197626150889443/?type=3&theater Have a great weekend! See you Monday!
