Have a Happy Virginia Grown Thanksgiving
At the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), we all look forward to Thanksgiving because it’s one of the great agricultural celebrations of the year. Thanksgiving is the one holiday that focuses solely on food and drink. This is not to downplay the importance of family togetherness, football and parades, but the feast came first. In fact, Thanksgiving derives from thankfulness for the harvest.

Memorial Day 2008
Memorial Day commemorates the fallen soldiers of long ago who died in the battlefields and meadows of Manassas Battlefield Park, Manassas, Virginia. The 42nd Virginia Infantry Regiment Re-enactors and the 14th Brooklyn Company provided the audience a glimmer of the past where brothers from the opposite realm suffered insurmountable defeat and casualties both in body and spirit. It is in this day soldiers from the past are remembered for their selfless acts so a nation that was once separated by ideology can be sewed together into a single weave of fabric which is now the present day United States of America.

Martin Luther King Jr.
As most of you probably know, the United Sates celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. by closing schools and offices all across the country. But why do we celebrate his many accomplishments?

He also received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1948 from Morehouse College.
