Because we did not meet for the month of
September due to Hurricane Ida, we are including
an inspirational letter from our RPWST president,
Brandy Morris.
I was struggling with what to write about on Constitution Week and I got this
beautiful sign in a fortune cookie last week.
'All the darkness in the world cannot put out a single candle'
This saying resonated with me on many levels. It made me pause and think
about our Founding Fathers and what exactly carried them through a brutal war.
It was this, this exact belief, this idea that light, this candle, the candle we carry
for God and Country will out shine any darkness in this world. If we but only
stand vigilant against the darkness. Our Founders supplied us with the ideas and
foundation to live a free life, a life of liberty and freedom of which they fought
and sacrificed so much for.
Yet now there are many so willing to blow out that candle to let themselves fall
in to darkness. Why? Because, sometimes holding that candle can be lonely and
the feeling of being alone can be terrifying or down right treacherous. We but
only want someone to stand beside us, someone to be there with us so we may
not feel so alone in our quest for righteousness. We are told by media,
politicians, society we are alone in our beliefs and life would be ok if we let
others decide our fate for us.
But maybe, just maybe that lone candle is the answer to our salvation. If we but
only trust and believe that freedom and liberty are the answers for all mankind,
we might find that many others will be more than willing to light a candle and
stand beside us.
The Founding Fathers gave us the tools to succeed; they gave us a manual to
righteousness, to freedom, to liberty. We must but only remember how they
held their candles, their light against tyranny and resign ourselves to follow a
righteous path in life.
Oct 2021 pg 5 I think it would be good to refresh ourselves on the values we stand for and believe in so that we may once again light the candle of liberty and hold it tightly in the darkness. 1. America is good. 2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life. 3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. 4. Family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority over our lives and our family, not the government. 5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. 6. I and every citizen have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Fairness is all Americans have the right to opportunity and not the right to the exact same end result. 7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. 8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. 9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. The 12 Values are: 1. Honesty 2. Reverence 3. Hope 4. Thrift 5. Humility 6. Charity 7. Sincerity 8. Moderation 9. Hard Work 10. Courage 11. Personal Responsibility God Bless America! -B

Elections Postponed, New Dates Announced
Last week Gov. Edwards signed an executive order
delaying the upcoming fall elections in Louisiana
because of Hurricane Ida’s rampage across the southeast
portion of the state on Aug. 29. The elections that would
have been held Oct. 9 now will be held Nov. 13. Those
that were to be held Nov. 13 now will take place Dec. 11.
The November 13 election will have nine different
proposals, including four amendments to the state
constitution, a .04 sales tax referendum and four separate
property tax renewals to operate local public school. Be
on the lookout for our rescheduled webinar to learn more
about the .04 sales tax referendum.

Featuring Our Guest Speakers
Operation H.O.M.
Testimonial from Byron and Melissa Davis
Since our son serves in the U.S. Army and is stationed a great distance
from home, we know his longing to see his family. Our family is a tight knit
group with six kids. The siblings of our soldier miss him as deeply as he longs
to be with them. We love America and we all are so proud of our son’s service.
When we spoke with him on the phone we knew by the sound of his voice he
was hoping to be home for Christmas but was unsure if the dream would come
true. During the fall of 2014, we wanted to see our son home for Christmas.
He didn’t know if he would receive “leave”, but he prayed and hoped it could
happen. We could tell that he not only wanted to be home, he needed to be
home to see the faces of those who drive his reason to serve.
Justin was able to come home for Christmas that year. Being stationed
in Alaska his travel was extremely expensive. He was able to get home with
the financial help of family members. The next year our son was home for
Thanksgiving 2015 leave. We made sure he could be home to celebrate with
his family. During his time at home we asked him, “How many enlisted
soldiers who receive a Holiday leave actually get to go home?” His answer
was quite surprising and moving, “Very few.”

Con nua on of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery
was approved by Congress on March 4, 1921, as the final resting place
for an unknown soldier from World War I; later remains were added
from subsequent wars to now represent all missing and unknown
service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
The St. Tammany Parish Chapters of the Daughters of the American
Revolution have arranged to have a traveling replica of the Tomb visit
Covington. This half-scale replica was created by the Exchange Club
of Rome, Georgia and was built with assistance and permission of
Arlington National Cemetery. It is the only replica authorized and
recognized by Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier and the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment of the Army, the
“Old Guard”, which guards the tomb.
The exhibit will be open to the public on 12-14 October from 10 AM to
7 PM each day. Educational videos and lectures will be provided each
day along with scheduled opportunities for individuals and
organizations to lay wreaths or floral tributes.
Point of Contact to schedule laying of a wreath on 13 or 14 October is
Pamela Herty, 985-264-9980 or 985-796-8196 or pherty@yahoo.com.
This event is free and open to the public. Inclement weather location is
inside the Justice Center.
